THE EXECUTIVE COMPUTER - THE EXECUTIVE COMPUTER - WHEN TECHNOLOGY OUTPACES NEEDS - NYTimes.com - Love a little history lesson, from 1985. - http://www.nytimes.com/1985...
"Chances are that before a universal e-mail network is ever developed, the whole idea of electronic mail, along with those of teletext and videotex, will have been reduced to the span of a few specialized applications.
