...when this U.S. Army Signal Corps veteran and enterprising engineer couldn't afford a secretary, he rigged up an 80-lb. contraption that used a lever to lift a phone receiver, a 78-r.p.m. record player to convey a personalized greeting, and a wire recorder to capture callers' 30-sec. messages. More than 6,000 of these "electronic secretaries" were in use by 1957, when he and a partner sold the patent to General Telephone Corp...
Cell phones are going straight to video. New models from Nokia, Sanyo and Toshiba enable you to record and send 15-sec. video clips as well as stills. But considering that prices range from $199 for the Nokia 3650 and $350 for the Sanyo VM4500, you might want to wait for the next generation.

But the future of Australian swimming rests with rivals like Melbourne-based Danni Miatke, whose best time for the 50-m 'fly is 3 sec. faster than Gould's, and who's racing in five other events. Miatke is 16, Gould's age when she quit. She might lack a smidgin of the older woman's talent, but is confident, far-sighted (and looked after) in ways Gould never was. Their stories highlight how swimming has changed since Gould...
...denying it was dimming her spirit. She received, she says, no sympathy from her husband - "He never understood my motivations, my essence." After their marriage ended in 1997, it wasn't long before the pool lured her back. And by clocking a personal-best 30.32 sec. for the 50-m 'fly at last year's U.S. Masters championships in New Jersey, she qualified for the Olympic trials...
