Fun Friday: Read a Newspaper on Your Home Computer!

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away -- 1981 in San Francisco, to be exact -- computer geeks actually suggested that we might be able to read daily newspapers on our home computers, "in a few year."

Imagine that!



Note the reporter's final comment: "Well, it takes over two hours to receive the entire text of the newspaper... and with an hourly use charge of $5 per hour, the new telepaper won't be much competition for the 20 cents street edition."
