40 years ago (yes, I’m „vintage“ 😉) I had one of the most memorable nights of my life regarding computers and telephone. Couldn’t happen today because communication got too fast and too cheap.

40 years ago: calling Peter Norton

This is the english version of a post I published five years ago It’s now 40 years that two friends of mine and me had one of the greatest nights of our lifes. Today, in 2025, the Internet and “always on” has become an integral part of our lives and this story is just folklore when we meet. 😉 What used to be science fiction 1985 is now everyday life and standard practice that no one even thinks about anymore. The best example of this is my old physics teacher: “If you think that as adults you will always have a calculator with you wherever you go, you are barking up the wrong tree.” 😆
