No, I'm not talking about a BBS, although they are certainly obsolete as well. I'm talking about physical bulletin boards. I don't know about you, but where I work, there are tons of bulletin boards.  They just kind of blend into the walls.  Many have not been updated in years...YEARS!  For instance, the one closest to my cube has only a double-length sheet of paper on it with the following heading:

Employee Bulletin Board Ads

Sept 1, 2001

Whoa! 2001! As I walked around today, I looked at other boards and there was not a single one that had been updated in the last year.  This leads me to believe that bulletin boards are not only obsolete, they are dead.  Has anyone seen a working one anywhere?  I think the only place that might still see one is in a school.
