wasn't he the first person to create the answering machine???

Yngvelindblom 20:39, 17 June 2007 (UTC): To my knowledge he was not an engineer as pointed out in the article. He actually failed to pass the qualifying test for the (in danish) Polytekniske Læreanstalt. This was mostly due to his problems with mathematics. The word inventor may be more correct. Or maybe it is just a language thing since english is not my native language?

And by the way. Yes. His first idea when inventing the Telegraphone was to create an answering machine. Little did he know of the great prospects of his invention.
