;)  In these days of the PC retrorevionist history of computers who knew?

It's the comma splice, that did it!  Because of how you constructed the

deployment of electricity.  I hope my grammer was suitably twisted.

Seriously it really wasn't clear enough that there were two distinct
though realted ideas there.
