It is worth remembering and honoring Bell today, his birthday. This is especially true for members of this forum and all telepone users, as, without his contributions and that of the telephone system he helped to get going, this forum and, indeed, all computer use might not have been possible.

Also, for you Scots here, he was one of you, born and bred in Edinburgh.

Thanks to Google for the reminder. Take a look at their home page for a cute representation of him.
