Maybe history does repeat itself. The paragraph above reminds me of the origin of the Strowger Switch: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strowger_switch "According to legend, Almon Strowger was motivated to invent an automatic telephone exchange after having difficulties with the local telephone operators. He was said to be convinced that the local manual telephone exchange operators were sending calls to a competing undertaker business." Tony Patti CIO S.
