You are correct about “pocket pager”. I used to have that kind of pager from the loaned service at community college. It was only receiving message: not two-way pager.

That's my memory. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. Wasn't he the person that got a page during a rally on Sunday night saying he had a very important phone call to answer in the Ole Gym? We saw him look at his pager and leave suddenly, and we had a feeling what it was all about, so the rally stopped and we all rushed to follow him out the door. We all ran to the Ole Gym, waiting for news about what the phone call was all about, then were ecstatic when we found out that all four demands were met. Extremely few people used the Internet in those days, but pagers were just beginning to grow in popularity, and closed captioning played a role in the protest, a technology that was still new, more or less. Greg performed superbly on the Nightline television show because he had watched it a lot with the new captioning technology before then. Click on my name (above) to read something I wrote about how I used the Internet in 1978, as a high school student, back in the days when there were less than 200 computers worldwide connected to the Internet.
