This piece of "Office Equipment" was so noisy. Deafening when a message was coming through. Scared the living daylights of of me when I first see it. Only used it a couple of times , that was enough, cold sweat and goose bumps tapping the message out then thankfully it was made extinct!
We moved Offices and progressed to a "Fax Machine". This was a little quieter but still temperamental. Half the time you used to phone the recipient and ask if it had or was coming through! Thank god for the technology of today! so much easier and less shouting.

These computers were the bees knees back in the 80's but the flashing green screen did upset your focus after a while. I was impressed a few years later when I was upgraded and my screen was orange! But of course no mouse and no internet. Good job I suppose as my Boss certainly wouldn't have allowed that! He didn't like it if I was laughing, and as I told him one day "I can laugh and work at the same time, and as long as all my work for the day was completed what would be the problem?" Needless to say he never questioned me again but always had an eye on me ......
