Wiseguy Vinnie Terranova's Tethered Laptop Video Chat (1996)

From the Wiseguy reunion movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118177/ - Vinnie calls up Lifeguard, and then Frank, using a laptop plugged into a cellphone. Second segment makes good use of picture-in-picture and has a hilarious printing technology. Superfast dot-matrix (if the SFX are any indicator). In the 6 years since the original show went off the air, it's amusing to see how they tried to update the underlying tech - and how lame it looks now. The original communications with Uncle Mike were all by phone - usually payphone, where Uncle had a lot of big reel-to-reel audio recording and occasionally a very small monochrome screen.

I really would like to find the entire movie. I'm surprised that they did not include the tv movie in the collectors edition dvd set... very disappointing. If anyone has it or knows how to get it on dvd... please send me a message.
