- I was watching Nickelodeon for Ren and Stimpy last weekend and noticed
- that in between features they have some sort of call in contest for
- kids watching. I only saw this twice, and both times the kids were
- calling in on AT&T Picturephones. They even said, "we've got Kim on
- the line with her AT&T Picturephone," or something to that effect. It
- was a jerky picture, probably taking multiple still-frames every few
- seconds.
-
- Is Nick doing some kind of promotion with these phones that everybody
- calling has one?
-
- Oh, I thought it was cool how they piped the Picturephone picture onto
- the screen.
