My first experience with trying to consume news on-the-go was back in the eighties using the original CompuServe text-based online service -- the first commercial online service. The process generally involved trying to connect a laptop to the hotel phone system through a combination of alligator clips, acoustic couplers, brick-like cellular phones, and so on. The acoustic coupler would have to be wrapped in a pillow after carefully removing the chocolate. I decided to see how far things had come.
