Don't get me wrong. I wasn't condoning or condemning their view of it,
just giving a play by play.

I think Mr. Powers took a missile up the pipe myself!

I do really believe that history's view is sadly misaligned though. If
you ask any child in school who invented the electricity we use today
you'll probably get Edison or Franklin. I never even heard about Tesla
till Science classes.

Over the past couple of years I have been doing a lot of reading into
Tesla's inventions and contributions. I realize my view may be
subjective, but I personally think the man got a raw deal from
Westinghouse and the Govt.

But, that's my opinion.
