First bloggers covered in Time magazine, 1985

TIME.com: Here Come the Networkers -- Nov. 25, 1985

"Greenly was not reporting for any newspaper or wire service. For the past two years the former vice president of Avon Products, who always dreamed of being a news correspondent, has been acting out his journalistic fantasies by covering events, writing stories and transmitting them by modem to the mainframe computer of the Source, an electronic information service. That enables any of the Source's 60,000 subscribers to call up Greenly's stories on the screens of their computers and, if they wish, to respond with comments of their own."

(Thanks to CW for pointing out this awesome archive.)

They make it quite confusing by putting "Posted Monday, Apr. 18, 2005" at the top of the article. I guess that's when it was put online, but scroll to the bottom to see what issue of the magazine this article was from. It's quite a fun read in today's context.

Envirotech introduced the APM 451 Respirable Dust Sampler based on CSIR NEERI knowhow. The system was upgraded to Buy APM 460BL in 1997. The APM 460 sampler uses an improved cyclone with sharper cutoff (D50 at 10 microns) to separate the coarser particulates from the air stream before filtering it on the glass microfibre filter. By using the Buy APM 460BL, measurement of Respirable Particulate Matter can be done accurately and TSPM can also be assessed by collection of dust retained in the cyclone cup Buy APM 460BL.
