[Electronics-talk] Disappointing News

[Gene Coulter]

As of twenty minutes ago a recording  went up on Tell Me 1-800-555-8355 
stating that the service is no longer in operation and refferring me to  a 
similar service at 1-330-247-7411.
When I call that number  it answers  as Tell Me. Basically they have changed 
Tell Me from a toll free service to a regular long distance call.

Even though I declared this thread off topic, I must agree.  I just
called bing411, and I got a referral to either a toll number, or
bing.com and then disconnected.  I would guess they are pulling the
plug, although with large distributed systems, it doesn't necessarily
happen all at once.
