Searching for "two way messaging" and limiting the date rate to _before_ 2005 reveals old web pages mentioning the subject.
For example, here's a web page from 2002: http://www.wireless-location.com/fcc/tech.htm
Which says: Along with the FCC's deregulation of telecommunications services, all three of these service providers now offer their customers Email, Internet, and Paging along with their traditional fleet dispatching services. Both Bellsouth and ARDIS (through third party manufacturers) offer small handheld messaging devices that have full function keyboards for two way messaging. Late in 1997 Bellsouth acquired 100% ownership of RAM and in March of 1998 changed the name to Bellsouth Mobile Data. ARDIS, which until recently was owned by Motorola, has been acquired by AMSC to complement its nationwide satellite data communications network by offering its customers lower cost service where ARDIS coverage is available.
Or this press release from 1994: http://www.telecompaper.com/news/ete-device-offers-2way-pda-messaging
...because all the WiFi channels are saturated.:-(
Even though my apartment is _below ground_ and I get _very poor_ AM/FM radio and cell phone service, I can't get _20 feet_ from my wireless access point.
Running the 'WiFi Analyzer' Android App shows 10 _different_ WiFi networks, and that's _only_ the networks that are broadcasting their ID's!
Our teletype was hooked into the school district's computer (dedicated land line) and was actually in a classroom, so kids could wander over and see how people were doing.
There was a printout to the left of the teletype (taped to the wall) which showed the complete game for the fastest trip to Oregon. (They made it by August!)
According to the linked story, Oregon Trail wasn't available for most of 1974, so I'd say that Styopa and I are remembering the 1975-1976 school year.
This is the memory I have in mind when I tell people, "...I've been doing computer games for 36 years..."
And, typing "Bang!" quickly was a problem, as the 'shift' and 'enter' keys are _not_ any bigger than the rest of the keys on the Teletype!
But in other cases, it's annoying as hell and makes no sense at all. I'm in the middle of renovating my house, and was recently looking at ceiling fans and vessel sinks online. Now I can't click on a site without seeing ads for sinks and fans, despite the fact that I made my selection and purchased them weeks ago.
For me, at this very moment Google does this to me. I'm using Kaspersky, and recently went to their site to download the 2011 version since I had a current license for it. Now, in a lot of places I go to, I see an ad for Kaspersky in a 'Ads by Google' box.
So, this is not new, and the only reason people are noticing it is that you are being served up the exact same ad on different websites, for a website you only visited once.
Yes, these levels of security from the 'orange book' is what I was thinking about when I made an earlier post that recommended an OS from Green Hills Software. They sell an 'A1' level OS, called 'Integrity'.
See http://cyberwarfaremag.wordpress.com/2008/11/19/integrity-os-to-be-released-commercially/ or http://www.ghs.com/security/security_home.html
To quote Green Hills Software's web site:
INTEGRITY has been deployed for 10 years in systems that require absolute security and total reliability:
- Flying the Boeing B1-B intercontinental nuclear bomber, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, Lockheed Martin's F-16, F-22 & F-35, and dozens of other aircraft - Securing military computers, networks, routers, cell phones, and radios - Widespread adoption in medical, industrial, and networking products - Running a multitude of consumer products from printers to kitchen ovens
INTEGRITY can secure virtually any computer or computer controlled device from attack, even systems running operating systems such as Windows, Linux, Mac OS, Solaris, Palm OS, Symbian, or VxWorks, whether it is in a PC, server, networking equipment, embedded system, smart phone, or critical infrastructure. INTEGRITY has more than a decade of fielded deployment in the following industries:
Medical Industrial Avionics & Aerospace Automotive Financial Consumer Government Defense
I found this place by wondering what was the most secure OS out there and did any OS get a TCSEC A1 security level rating? NT was built for a C2 level.
-- From Grenstone's Web Site -- About Greenstone: Greenstone is a suite of software for building and distributing digital library collections.
It provides a new way of organizing information and publishing it on the Internet or on CD-ROM.
Greenstone is produced by the New Zealand Digital Library Project at the University of Waikato, and developed and distributed in cooperation with UNESCO and the Human Info NGO.
It is open-source, multilingual software, issued under the terms of the GNU General Public License. Read the Greenstone Factsheet for more information.
The aim of the Greenstone software is to empower users, particularly in universities, libraries, and other public service institutions, to build their own digital libraries.
Digital libraries are radically reforming how information is disseminated and acquired in UNESCO's partner communities and institutions in the fields of education, science and culture around the world, and particularly in developing countries.
We hope that this software will encourage the effective deployment of digital libraries to share information and place it in the public domain. Further information can be found in the book 'How to build a digital library', authored by two of the group's members.
There's a book like this from the late 70's, 100 Great Science Fiction Short Short Stories
I remember an Asimov entry (story format in the book was Title:Story): 'Science Fiction For Telepaths: "Aw, you know what I mean."'

Or, if your distro has lots of installable packages available as a rule (like Ubuntu), try poking through it's 'games' section.
