Last man standing, no more
BusinessWhen I first started MacTechnologies, there were limited options for staying in touch. Back in the day, e-mail was for universities and scientists, and cell phones were the stuff of science fiction so, to facilitate contact, I carried around a pager. It was a simple concept, and common too, that someone would dial a phone number, enter their own phone number, and this tiny device hanging from my belt would somehow get my attention.
Times have changed, of course, and now people stare in amazement at the once-ubiquitous technological wonder of yesteryear. But my clients were still comfortable with it, and it did the job. That is, until recently.
I now find that this once-indispensable device is reliable about 10% of the time, and I have been directing everyone to my main office number instead. The time has come to finally pull the plug.
As of now, my pager number (917/491-5546) will no longer be active. To reach me, please call the main number (212/201-1465) and leave a message, or drop me an e-mail, IM or fax (914/242-7294).

shucks….i think you should have put this radical change to a vote….i like the pager…followed by a series of emails from me when the pager doesn’t work….i would think long and hard about this change….g

Well, it wasn’t so radical. I haven’t gotten a page from anyone in the past few weeks, so I was carrying around a brick and making my clients think I was ignoring them. There is nothing to reconsider only because the thing essentially stopped working.
