Back when companies started giving employees "an on-ramp to the 
information superhighway" in the early 90s, a general manager at the 
time got the brilliant notion that this would be a great way for 
customers to place orders rather than having to mail, phone, or "fax" 
them in (another thing kids today don't get).    And because it would 
save them all the time and effort of doing these things, he thought 
they'd be willing to pay a $50 surcharge for the privilege.

I had the same thought as Jeffery's above ;-)    It took about a week 
before it was relegated to "the trash bin of bad ideas".
