Saw this today:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9dpXHnJXaE
It's a video of a guy demonstrating his 1964 Livermore Data Systems "Model
A" Acoustic Coupler Modem that still works
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_coupler
and in order to demonstrate it still works he requests the mainpage of en.wp
:-) The page starts loading at 6:40 of the video.

Three cheers for open standards and and backwards compatibility!
I would like to know if it is technically possible to edit a WP article
through that system.
