Had a great time at @jawncon, it was wonderful seeing everyone!

Here are some pictures of our booth with contributions from @dialupworld and others. By day 2 there were 9 working payphones, 2 working video phones, a handful of rotary and touchstone tabletop phones, 2 TDDs, the AT&T Sceptre, a WebTV, a Toughbook with a Courier modem, a DisplayPhone, and a UHF repeater with autopatch to take calls over ham radio!

@philtel heh, that's funny. I was referring to a specific scene in Wiliam Gibson's Neuromancer novel, when main character Case walks by a line of payphones in a hotel lobby ...

@Wintermute_BBS Guess it’s time I reread Neuromancer because I had no recollection of that!
