In 1986, the BBC's Lesley Judd flew from London to Amsterdam with her portable PC and acoustic coupler to demonstrate the state of the art in electronic mail. The segment shows her dialing into a local packet network from an airport payphone, connecting to Telecom Gold, and filing a story electronically. (Invaluable clip for the classroom!)
