AUSTIN, Texas, Sep 11, 2007 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- This year, 3M and the telecom industry are celebrating the 50th anniversary of 3M's invention of the Scotchlok connector, a small but powerful tool that has changed very little in that 50 years but helped make a world of difference in the industry. Communications craftspeople and electricians use Scotchlok connectors as they install broadband, voice, data and video wiring in homes and businesses. A commemorative promotional sweepstakes with instant prizes and a Harley-Davidson Sportster grand prize are part of the anniversary celebration this fall.

Take care,
Rich

God bless the USA

Decisions, decisions. take your pick of answers.

1) a genuine Clan McDonald bagel -- scotch loks and bagels, obviously.

2) after a Scotchlok 50th, you put a binder around it, and go on to the
next 25-pair span.
