1986 BBC Micro Live Segment Electronic Mail Email
Lesley Judd stepped off a plane at Schiphol Airport near Amsterdam carrying a chunky portable computer and a small device called an acoustic coupler.

Sony REON POCKET PRO Plus Wearable Cooling Heating Device
Sony refines its wearable cooler for stronger everyday comfort. Summer heatwaves push people to seek relief that travels with them, and Sony answers with the latest version of its REON POCKET series. Wearers place the REON POCKET PRO Plus around their neck so a stainless steel plate rests gently against the skin between the shoulders. Electricity passes through special materials inside to cool or heat that plate directly. Blood flow then carries the temperature shift across the body, delivering noticeable comfort without touching core body heat.
