Ian - the original question (as i'm reading it) did NOT ask as best i can tell about the 1st mention - it asked about the ubiquitous nature of these technologies being predicted..
:"Are there any examples of proto-internets in science fiction, or predictions for the widespread use of cell phones?"

If you add the author (Philip Birtles) to 'DeHavilland Vampire, Venom and Sea Vixen' you can connect with my copy and obtain a cover.

Many thanks for the skinny on the SF & FMW series. Do you have a contact at Orion, or did you read this somewhere?

Ian:

Thanks for the scan of the Dune Calendar! Check out my catalog from time to time (wait about six months and I'll have a over a thousand sf covers, mostly 50s and 60s).

The Dune Calendar came around again last year. I certainly enjoy this one.

I thought Angel Stations had a quirky, dreamlike, intriguing quality to it. And my personal preference is not for novels with endless shoot-em ups - although I realise this is the current fashion.

Hello Ian! I have just started this malarky so I've got a few library entries to go yet.....
