End of a print publication [Telecom]

I just go my July/August issue of Telephony. In it the editor tells everyone that this will be the last print issue after 108 year. When I starting for California Water Telephone (GTE) in 1967 I used to read my supervisors issue, and was able to lean a lot of what was happening; from what I remember is was pretty good sized with a lot of ads. Over the years and in the last few it has gotten spammer with each issue. They will continue with the on line issues and a new print wil be called Connected Planet. I have had my own issue for the last 30 years, and I think I have all of those in boxes in the garage: I have looked at older issues over the and have seen the changes, gone are the ads from Automatic Electric for step stuff and Western Electric ads.

Bizarre. As further details, Opera reports:

| Haute Secure has inspected this site and have found issues | which pose a security risk to you. To stay out of harm's way, | don't visit this site.

Nonetheless, relying on your reassurances, I did visit the site, finding a slew of old Telephony "reprints," but nothing BSTJ. Where should I have been looking for the BSTJ items?

Thanks; and cheers, -- tlvp
