Re: Interesting speed test

Mr. D.: You might get a better response from me if you stop using excessive sarcasm.

Al has already pointed out something you missed.

FRC rules are not slanted to prove that one technology is better than another, no.

However, something you should realize is that the telegraph is the FOUNDATION of the (now "outdated") landline telephone (which, by the way, is still very effective when cell phones don't have reception, assuming there is one handy). Said landline telephone is the forerunner of the cellular telephone (and the texting machine, which is simply a cell phone that is used primarily for texting instead of voice communications), which is the forerunner of tomorrow's technology.

Without the telegraph and the codes used to transmit on it, you WOULD NOT have the modern cell phone. Oh, you might, but it would still be in development.

Oh, and I tend to use the voicemail feature and vibrate feature of my cell phone. Keeps it quiet when it goes off.
