Kicking and Screaming into the 90's

Yes, I realize that the 90's are so five years ago, but you see, Texas A&M University-Kingsville is being brought--kicking and screaming, mind you--right smack into them.
The big news on campus the last two days--and this is so sad--is that our phone system now has external Caller I.D.! You have no idea how cool that is. Now when I hear the double ring of doom signifying an external call, I can look at my LED screen and see just who is about to give me a hard time. It's even cooler that when they leave a voice mail, the pretty voice that tells me I have messages tells me what number called!
Too cool.
Anyway, this has been big news all over campus, so much so that people are calling eachother from their cell phones saying "do you see my number? What does it say?" as if they've never had Caller I.D. before.
Ahh, to be in the halcyon days of 1994 again. God bless, before you know it, we might be able to submit help tickets with the IT department online.
