(keitai-l) Re: i-Mode searchengines?

Actually, pneumatic tube systems are still in use in a number of locations,
particularly at point of sale locations to allow the cash registers to be
emptied of excess cash (or change larger bills to smaller). You can still
order these systems today, as they are still manufactured.

While they are not used for messaging, there is still a need to transport
paper and other small objects between locations quickly....
