I was reorganizing my paper file on AT&T ADB (it got too big for the
file folder it was in) and I decided to sort the direct mail pieces on
the service I have received. I was amazed at not only the volume but
the variety and high quality slick stock that they are printed on.
Some advertising company has made a bundle on the boondoggle:

Flimsy postcard size that say ATT DB at the top with the rates (5)
A fold out Xmas card advertisement (1)
End Traffic Jams at home foldout (1)
Herd what's new with bull on the cover (irony <g>) (3)
Ferris wheel (1)
You'll get a kick out of ADB with cowboy boots (1)
A holiday idea from ATT with ornament (2)
Haven't ordered ATT DB yet?  (3)
And the all time favorite, the trifold "Talk.Fax.Surf. All at the same
time.  (3)

That's not counting six more letter pieces and a letter-size slick
piece and recent correspondence regarding my FCC complaint.

That's 27 just at my house, and I am sure I have some others being
used in the bird cage.

Save those cards!  It occurred to me that soon we can all start
trading these like baseball cards.  And they will only grow in value
after the service goes down the tubes...  In any event, they will have
to be worth more than the service ever was.  <g>.
