Don't Pick Up the Phone — when simple tasks required an entire department.
The connection is almost established when someone reaches for the household telephone. A terrified computer user, ringing handset, CRT monitor, modem, soda cans, and scattered discs capture the most dangerous moment in dial-up history.
