I must disagree. Putting phone messages for people in the same office into the computer is extremely useful. My secretary mails mine to me, so that I can review them either from home that evening or from another site connected to the network.

This in turn raises a question. If I have an elegant work station at the office with graphics and icons, etc., how do I read my electronic mail from home on a cheap, slow terminal (probably 300 baud at best)? Do I have to learn a whole different command language? Computerese instead of pointing devices?
