ha the 80’s no such e-mails ……unless you worked under a Corporate system . I remember the boss telling his team that men… would now have to type their own reports and letters …. no more dishing it out to "secretaries" . You had to write a business case to purchase a $4K IBM PC..with 64KB of ram and a 40 megabit hard disk, all this for approval by the Corporate IT gurus who dreaded to see their systems " prisonners" moving away to stand-alone computers 😯

In the communication world a 1.5MB/s line needed "special engineering" specs only affordable by large enterprises

paper was going to disappear from office folders into floppy disk ,diskettes and 300 megabyte storage full of stacked LP’s … but everybody kept a copy.. in case

in 1971 the big thing was moving up from teletype services to dial-up modems running 110 bits per second !! then came 300BPS 600 BPS 1200 BPS
