Here is a great article about a Time and Temperature service in Florida that has been operated since the 1930's – and still gets 2,000 calls per day.  Now operated by a funeral home, the owner of the service points out how it's great promotion and public service.  It's easy to say that the Internet fills all our information needs – but the fact is – we still obtain information the same way we have always obtained it – the telephone, newspapers, TV, radio.  We have just added the Internet to the mix.  The story on this service is here.
