    TEL-COM is a computer designed by two San Francisco
    engineers. It is essenti~lly a telephone caller with a re-
    corded message. It can be programmed to call up to
    50, 000 homes before being reprogram~'r.ed. Oh yes, if
    your line is busy it waits a~d calls you hack. A lot of

    this, well you know the answer to this one. . .A recent
    Bell Telephone campaign and PR sheet c:lalmed tbat '307
    of all ccin phones) in New York, were in working order at
    any given time. However, a recent YIPL survey of coin
    phones ~n the Manhatian area showed 83'{ out of order. ..
    The name of a Midtown restaurant, Ma Bells. We decided
    to go ~ and try the specialty of the house, ~:ed on~on rings.
    Although there were many empty tables they told us we
    would have to wait because they were to~ busy. We finally
    got a seat but had to exF]a~n so many times to the waitress
    what we wanted that we blew another 15 mlnutes. Finally
    the waitress came back w~th the wrong order. The bill for
    just one order of onion rings was unbelieveably high, due they
    said to hidden costs. (it was nice of them to let us know they
    couldn't tell us wbat the hidden costs were) Smce we never
    got the onion rings we refused to ~y. A big burly looking
    bonncer stepped up next to us and told us we'd have to pay, but
    that next time we came here and ordered onion rings we~d have
    credit. They couldn't understand that n~xt time we'd make our
    own onion rings.

    YIPL, it is said, has its better days. And ~though we're
    doing better in mailing now, the Post Offlce ien't. YIPL
    ~s malled third class. Now first class goes slow, and even
    second class doesn't go much f„ster tban osmosis, b-~t we
    go at the very end of everything else, when we go at all.
    And there's no sense trying to make it any better because
    postmen steal your ~i', our ~, and everyone else for
    tbat matter. So be padent. Allow 2 months for delivery of
    a newsletter, 1 month for back isoues. And do not send

    PEOPLE OFF. But if you send your $2 and we don't get
    it, we figure you might have forgotten to stick it in the
    envelc~e or it might hsve been stolen. So we ask you to
    send it in chec~c, or to check if your previous check was

    Dear YIPL,
    I have found out one way to ma~ke all the long-distance
    calls you want flom your or your ~iend's hame phone,
    provided it's not bu~ged. Ihe desired number is ~;~led
    direct. As soon as you hear a click, push down the hang
    ~p button several timeS very quickly for a second or two.
    An operator should come on the line shortly because ap~
    parently by pushing the button you mess up the equip~ent
    tb~t LS trying to identify your line. Gi~re the operator
    number other than your own, but with the same prefix.
    It is best to use a number tbat's not in service or of a pa~y
    phone so the phone co. won't ~y to find out who c~lled
    the number. I tried in Houston, but it di~'t work. I! it
    worLcs in yollr locality-then great.' Use it to m~lm long
    800 a~d information calls appear on other people's
    records, too. Keep up the great work.
