Goodbye and good luck!

The damn Internet slays another icon.

University hangs up on telephone registration system

TEX, the University of Texas' telephone registration system, will say "goodbye and good luck" for the last time when it's laid to rest July 15 at 5 p.m.

"An era has passed," said William Livingston, UT senior vice president and the voice of TEX, who can be heard reading the system's eulogy at the TEX number. "Something will have to replace old TEX."

That something is the Internet.

Side note: I love this photo. Ol' Tex in seersucker with a crazy grin. That's how I think I always pictured him anyway.
