WAN - [TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: The Palmer House Hotel in Chicago and the Conrad Hilton Hotel both had (maybe still) multi-chair shops. The lead barber was also the cashier. Of course in addition to a haircut many guys went in the shop every day to also get a shave and a facial. Palmer House had twelve chairs I think; but it used to be that all guys would get a haircut once a week or every two weeks at least. No more. PAT]I've been going to a four-chair shop in Fountain Valley California formost of the last ten years. Fountain Valley is in Orange County, theepitome of suburbia by some reconning. The owner just retired and soldthe shop last month, but it still has four chairs and stays busy.However, what has disappeared are real haircuts. I'm told that using astraight razor is essentially optional on the California license examand most barbers skip that. A few places seem to recognize theproblem, but solve it by pretending to shave my neck, not really doingit. Since I can't see the process, I can only infer their action bythe lack of a smooth result. I feel like such an old-timer!-- Dave Close, Compata, Costa Mesa CAdave@compata.com, +1 714 434 7359dhclose@alumni,caltech.eduThe cost of silicon chips has been steady at about $1bn per acre for40 years." --Gordon Moore
