Another chronology question.

Put the following events into chronological order.

No cheating!

- Bram Stoker writes "Dracula"
- The first fax machine is used
- Alexander Graham Bell is born in Scotland
- The Nintendo company is formed

@selzero No idea w/o looking (though I know Nintendo's been around a lot longer than Mario, since they started IIRC as a playing-card company), but the internet has informed me that, if you're willing to stretch the definition of "fax", a samurai could have faxed Abraham Lincoln.
Abraham Lincoln and the Samurai Fax Machine

A popular post claimed that "there was a 22 year window in which a samurai could have sent a fax to Abraham Lincoln."

Truth or Fiction?

No it is not stretching anything. The first fax AKA Electric Printing Telegraph AKA Telefax.
