Interesting quote in this message I just stumbled on:

http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/twe...ges/96812.html

"This (in)famous quote is one of my favourites:

“Everything that can be invented – has already been invented”, 1899 by Mr. Charles Duell, Patent Office commissioner. "

I am sure many have seen this quote before. Some bring it up from time to time.
Urban legends just never seem to die. Sure like to see some primary source for this not speculated ones that it must be so.

There isn't one because it is bogus.

How is this different from some in audio?
