I built a demo app based on this format, but over a phone line. Blowed if I can remember the name of the technology. Early 80s anyone?

- beardyw 3y agoMm ... thanks, maybe, but doesn't feel quite right. Problem was it used a normal TV so when demoing it, if the line dropped you got whatever was on TV. Less than impressive!

- beardyw 3y agoYes! Just came to me too. UK Post Office system. We had one demo where we couldn't get a good connection to the computer. The operators rigged up a wire from the computer room direct to where I was doing the demo. It was 12 floors up in two different buildings, stretched across! I kept the blinds down so no one could see it!
