How the telephone was advertised in October 1980. Note the exciting colour range of the push button phone. The push button trimphone had the advantage that unlike the dial version it did not contain radioactive substances. 

There is a second picture here, featuring a green dress clad recumbent housewife...

How the Web was Won, fifty years ago

Interesting article in Vanity Fair July 2008 tracing through interviews, the origins of the internet from 1958 and the formation of ARPA.

The Cardiff branch of this microbrewery chain is housed in the listed facade of the old Westgate St., Art Deco garage. Formerly a car park and Taxi office. A much more interesting use, particularly as the former covering of white paint has been stripped away from the facade to reveal the detail. Mike Packwood (a learned connoisseur of Cardiff located hostelries, now based in the fine city of Liverpool) and I often used to muse on the possibilities of turning this building into a bar. I believe we thought the best name would have been "bar...code" or perhaps Bar-mitzvah or somesuch idiot styling.
