Rex Mallik of London was part of an experiment in putting computers in homes. Well, sort of. What he had was a terminal that worked as a teletype machine, connected to a computer a couple of miles away. No screen, just lots and lots of paper, and it cost £30 a week! They didn't mention whether it tied up the home's phone line. But it provided fairly instant answers to questions. (via Damn Interesting)
