And while we're on trivial communication (the paradox of this thread alone would fascinate Marshall McLuhan I'm sure!)

The first transmission across the Atlantic Ocean.....?

The letter 'S'

Draw your own conclusions for why that was choosen by Marconi.

Nice! I love trebuchets! I have a Fustibalus (handheld staff-sling) that gets some pretty wicked distance with rocks. Even managed to embed a small rock in a fencepost from about 10 yards! The actual range on the thing is scary long

(somewhere around 550ft) I should find out how far I can chuck a small lead weight with it sometime...

I thought it was learning you can get a better long distance rate.

Or maybe it was "will tracktion 2 ever be released?"

Another early telephone quiz:
Between what two points was the worlds first long distance line erected?

Nope, it's a bit more obscure than that.
Anyone else want to take a guess? I'll take 3 more guesses before I reveal the location. (no fair googling for the answer!)
