In a way you are right, as Edison went around seeing what everyone else was doing, and basically put different technologies together that he got ideas from other people on...but at least what Edison did was the best of the time, not just junk that he used strong armed tactics to deploy. Edison WAS a good engineer, Gates is not an engineer. Gates is NOT an inventor by any stretch of the word, and I'd say Edison was an inventor. Just because Gates saw the Mac OS and said "we need a windowed OS" doesn't mean he invented anything. Austin - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
