It would interesting to see statistics of the google web hits from interested people clicking the "google doodle" to see about mechanical television. I don't know if ETF runs Google Analytics on their web site to see if there was a spike of hits yesterday. I thought about taking my Western Television down to Starbucks with me yesterday morning to celebrate the event but decided not to. I wonder if John Logie Baird was listening in yesterday. I read somewhere that Sir William Crookes thought that Cathode Rays could be used as a medium to contact the other side but then few people seeing the google doodle on the web were using Cathode Ray Tubes. See bottom "Spiritualism"
