| http://motoinfo.motorola.com/motoinfo/20th_anniversary/default.asp Heres somthing to have a little smile about. I remember back in the 80s we all used to hang out in a posers paradise called the Bitter End. Yep and there was Maggies Yuppies on their $4000 brick phones. Happy days. Click on the link for a smile or a little culture shock.

| Ah, Teafie. Thanks for the memories-the picture of the 1940 walkietalkie took me back a long way. We Brits had to make do with bits of kit that were about the size and weight of a couple of car batteries. We envied the Yanquis their advanced comms kit. And as for the more modern 'brick' sized mobile phones, I remember being incredibly impressed in 1987 when a friend turned up with his 'mobile', which was similar to the one shown, but had a huge battery pack so that it would run all day! Then again, we didn't have to suffer peeps shouting in to their hands in the street/on the train/in the car like we do now. (most of it is garbage anyway, who wants to know the price of belly pork futures?)
