Old Fashioned Freeway Phone Booth

          “Telephone History?”

What did kids do with computers in 1970? Much more advanced as Ping Pong or Tic Tac Toe. There was more too. These kids just wanted to make money joining these new computer contraptions with people’s needs. We fond out that e could hack anything with an expensive oscilloscope based electronic analyzer, the M6800 or the Intel 4004 together with a Motorola radio and what could you get? First you design your own computer with your own operating system and build it out of a printed circuit soldered together with another machine and you get that weird freeway emergency phone.   Remember, there were no phone booths on the freeway and neither were there any cell-phones because that freeway phone was exactly what (among others) became a cell phone too. I know the idiot that built that thing just to pay for his apartment’s rent bill.   There was a time in this country that people had travel and vehicular trouble on any freeway and no one had radios or telephones in their cars when their tire blew. Where could they find a phone booth on a freeway when you needed one?
