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.
