It's not counter-technology! It's a clever use of technology that seems to old to be of any use. A welcome answer to the bloated technology of these days. I vaguely remember that I emailed with my Classic 4/40 in 1995. Remarkable indeed, but even more astonishing for me was emailing on some delapidated Unix terminal in Budapest in that same year. Green letters on a black screen and lots of silly commands, but it did work! It could have been a telnet program on DOS too, I'm not sure, but that terminal can't have had more than 640 kb of RAM.
