If Thomas Edison had his way we'd be using D.C. and there would be little
generating plants every couple of miles to power things.  The Johns Hopkins
University whose power plant generated the university's power in the old
days was D.C.  They finally got the last of the old elevators and stuff
converted so they could finally put the D.C. generator out of commission.
It happened in 1979.
