[NTLK] Wireless Coyote Video

Okay people,
Watched the video tonight. It's about 20 minutes long and deals
mainly with Apple's foray and study of how wireless technology would
allow students to change their perception of learning if given the
chance to actually take their lessons into the field and see how data
changes on the fly rather than by gathering straight facts off a book.

They took a small group of students into Sabino Canyon to study the
environment there, ie. water, soil, flora/fauna. They were equipped
with wireless touchscreen computers (9600 bd), walkie talkies, a
cellular fax, digital camera while the homebase group of students
worked with Macintosh AIOs (with floppy drives).

This video was made in 1991. I don't think the computers they used
were Newtons though. They were honking huge, ie a neighborhood yellow
page book with the wireless modem strapped to the back. As soon as I
get it converted to DVD and then QT, I'll see if I or someone can
host it.
