I had an exchange student from Yugoslavia once where the give him the credit he deserves. If it wasn't for Tesla's research and discoveries, so much of our electric world would not be here. Let's not forget either that it was Tesla who invented radio, as proved by his successful suit against Marconni, who still get's all te credit. Tesla had radio controled boats (who got their power from radio too) before Marconni even got the first dots and dashes sent. -- ================================================================================ Dan Shoop UUNET: ...uunet!spcssi!shoop Manager of Systems Support Internet: shoop@spcssi.sequor.com Security Pacific Software Services AT&Tnet: 212.425.0200 The Sequor Group ICBMnet: 40 45 N / 73 30 W ================================================================================ Your standard disclaimer here.
