Well, I just wish that my memory for these things was
a bit better!
I don't know what ever happened to the ARDIS
network...This all happened in a time when new
technologies came and went in the blink of an eye with
companies losing millions in the process! (Iridium
satelites anyone)
So it's not unusual to have an amazing technilogical
piece of hardware one day only to fine is useless the
next...(Socket pager card?)
Honestly, all this technology was venture capital
funded, and if they didn't show profitibility in a
rediculously short period of time, it was abandoned
while people reshuffled their priorities in an effort
to be part of the next biggest thing...it's a shame
really.
