Western Union sure knows how to change with the times... they could have easily died off with the telegram, but instead, they've shifted their core business a number of times and now look pretty firmly set for the future.

It is 2006 - we are in the 21st freakin' century! What took Western Union so long to shut down the stupid telegram business?

Wonder who had the honor of sending the last telegram and how much they paid. (and what it said!)
To: DaveCooper
I don't know why- but this brings a tear to my eye..
We (my family) still have telegrams from all the big events- births, deaths, ones from overseas when all the men were in WW I and WWII...and other assorted special moments...

How long before the last newspaper is printed and CNN makes its last telecast?

the company ended its telegram services quietly on Jan. 27 by laying off 30 workers who still operated the telegram business.What a way to end a 150 year product.
