Tech Mobility? Yawn ....
Oh, those were the days it was a novelty ... I was one of the first 42 pilot users in the country to have been given the privilege to try out the then ADAM Mobile Network's Fax and Data Pilot Project (thx to Fauzi Ali and Azman Karib, super tech pioneers!).
Armed with an Apple Newton MessagePad 120, we got linked to the Net via a PCN (GSM) 1800 Nokia 2142i (iirc). What a high it was to be out all day from the office, driving, while receiving/sending faxes and email. Whats the big deal, eh? It was, because if you look closer, that was October 16, 1995 ... exactly three years before Alisa was born.
More importantly, it was only 16months after Netscape was founded! That IS a big deal :) Who cares if it was a 9.6kbps link, LOL!#$%^&
Don't let me start on my dial-up ISP then, Apple's eWorld ... oh, you so don't want to know. Don't get me wrong, they were good, never was there an engaged tone everytime I needed a connection.
This is what happens when you start clearing your store room left untouched since time immemorial. I found more interesting older stuff going as far back as 1984-87 high school tumultuous teenage years. Need to dig up the scanner for that one, give me a couple of weeks :D
