Ok, at least three people have questioned my remark, so I'd like to restate it. I was going to let it pass, but here goes. An article in an old issue of Radio Electronics, which was a construction article using surplus equipment, made the remark that fax'es weren't a new invention (new meaning 50's-60's) but that Toshiba had built and sold them in Japan since 1928. I posted this remark as a reply to someone who said that the facsimile machine had been invented in the 1700s. I found this difficult to believe as I would have thought that an electrical infrastructure would have been a necessary requirement. I was corrected on this. For anyone who misread my message and got instead that I thought electricity had been deployed after 1928 needs to go back to school and learn English all over again. Of course, if we were talking about Arkansas, I do believe the fax machine is older than Arkansas having electricty. Any Black Oak fans out there? :-)
