A patent dispute has arisen about the origin of computers calling you back after you call them. I am posting this as a favor: neither I nor my employer is involved on either side. If anyone can date the origin of callback before 1979, preferably with a written reference, please tell: Mike Robinton Robinton Products Inc. 580 Maude Ct. Sunnyvale, CA 94086 408-738-8330 I can't believe the idea isn't old, but there seems to be a lack of printed evidence. Thanks. *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***
