Rumor has it that ben franchuk may have mentioned these words:

Or both... or more!

At one time early in it's history, our power plant could provide DC, 50Hz
*and* 60Hz AC. The first to go was 50Hz (due to lack of need) but they were
still generating DC into the 60's for a few customers, if I'm not mistaken...
