[GreenKeys] Jack Hart and i-Telex...

[Paul Heller]

This is about communicating, not about sending something to a teleprinter.  And it is about remembering and experiencing something from the past.

And it is about preserving (architcturally, technically and emotionally) something from the past while we still can. 

What are you missing? The joy of recreating the telex experience.

If you want to experience something that once drove communication and commerce around the world and is now gone - that is what iTelex is. 

And if you don’t, then don’t. To each his own.
