A man checks his e-mail over a public pay telephone using a Panasonic RL-P4001 Acoustic Coupler dial-up modem attached to a Panasonic RL-H1400 HHC (Hand-Held Computer) in the early 1980s.
The Panasonic RL-H1400 was a hand held computer that was first introduced in 1982 and was priced around $600

Fascinating!
He went through all that just to read the following:
Subject: URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Prince Oluwaseun Abimbola, the son of the late Chief Emmanuel Abimbola, a high-ranking official in the government of Nigeria. Due to political instability in my country, my family and I have been forced into hiding. Before my father’s unfortunate demise, he secretly deposited the sum of $30,000,000.00 (Thirty Million U.S. Dollars) in a secure account, which I now have access to.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I almost spilled my coffee laughing. 😅
