Wow, I didn't think my comment would stir up so much commentary! My opinion of
Edison used to be that he was a great inventor, until I read some books about him

"Tesla - Man Before His Time" is a really good read, BTW.

"man out of time", I think. Yup, I just sent it to Iggy this morning.
If his stack of "I should read this" is like mine, I'm looking forward
to hearing his impressions in a year or three...

Just got an e-mail from an old University buddy, in which he mentioned
he still has my textbook book on ion propulsion. That's a 26 year
loan. I bet that's not the record here. ;-)

The really sick thing is that I was just looking for it a few weeks
ago. ;-)
