But do you really want to go back to the days >> when there was no Internet and no email? > > On holiday, yes. :-) Years ago I used to spend much of the summer camping in Europe with a small tent. I remember taking, at various times, a satellite dish/receiver/remote, portable CRT TV, mobile phone, modem and laptop computer. And often there might be a video camera, music keyboard (and headphones), radio and lamps. (This was before digital cameras, GPS and all those other gadgets.) Plus all the leads, cables, adaptors, extensions, inverters etc for running that lot from 220V on the campsite or from the car 12V socket. And at that time using internet on the move cost �1 a minute (and connecting could take several attempts, each costing �1), with a speed of 9.6K, although it usually achieved half of that. -- Bartc

Ah, the good old days. When the web was so slow you could follow the path of your request across the world in the status-bar of Webcrawler. -- Tim C.

Actually it was a small car but it was well-packed (as I had a bike too). No room for any passengers though. -- Bartc
