That would have been pretty cool if they could have made that a reality. I wonder how far, if at all, they actually got with development of it.

Today, this communication would have been done via a simple email. Back then, some executive assistant would have had to type it up, make paper copies, put them in a physical outbox so that the inter-office delivery person could come, pick them up and deliver them to thier intended recipients...

Makes you wonder how anything got done in the days before PCs and Internet... simply mind-boggling...

I hated when I had to BCC someone on a memo. You had to print out a other copy with the BCC line added for them and be careful that you didn't give someone the wrong copy. :)

Of course the big plus was that we didn't spend all f'ing day in email back then.
 
Well Atari actually used e-mail then through their VAX system. Jed Margolin describes it here:

He even included his vax-mails !

But it looks like the more official stuff was still done on Memo's, although that Memo actually specifies "From tape" meaning it's original form was probably electronic.

The SW PCB has one POKEY's serial port wired up to the harness, so the hardware part is already there.

I guessed (its just that) that "from tape" meant someone transcribed it from audio tape.

No?
