Hi Tom – nice meeting you at the dinner with Shel the other night. Believe it or not I just had to pull out my fax machine that was buried deep in a box in the back of a storage room. Seems the Canadian government won't talk to me over email…argh…

nice list.

It is interesting though to think about the differences between “media” and “media transport mechanisms”. I mean I’ve bought Back in Black on vinyl, CD, DVD and have it on MP3 and WMA.

Tom, i'm going to have to call billsh!t on a couple of things in your last as well. Pneumatic tubes are completely not dead. have you been to home depot lately? they use them in every store for doing cash drops. also, i think tap, church bells and yodelling are still far more "alive" than you might think.
