I remember Tomorrows World (and various presenters... Philippa Forrester, Judith someone,
Howard Stableford etc.) and having various things demonstrated on it.
Dual layer DVD's and the introduction of Teletext spring to mind. I don't remember
the gadget you are on about though :(

Does anyone else remember 'Tomorrow's World' in the UK transmitting

via a flashing square in the bottom right of the TV picture? There was some
kind of photocell dongle that attached to the computer. Memory is vague -
did it plug into the tape input? I can't remember what the target system
was, possible several via the basic translater mentioned earlier in the
thread? No idea what the data rate was.
