It was on this day in 1838 that Samuel Morse first demonstrated his idea for a telegraph system to his colleagues. This telegraph system was simple yet effective and ultimately overtook all other forms of telegraph and first enabled worldwide electrical communication. It was also on this day, but in 1984 that the first Apple Macintosh went on sale.
Quote: Humour is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our irritations and resentments slip away and a sunny spirit takes their place. Mark Twain
