Your history post was fairly interesting, but I have two
complaints.  First and most important, you should consider
the negative aesthetics, unreadability, and irritation of
right justified, fixed-width fonts when making future posts.
Actually, the second is not a complaint so much as a query:
what was the lesson you spoke of twice to learn from this
historical tidbit?  Were you making a cynical comment on
a possible advantage of trying to make a buck on an invention
as opposed to giving it to educational institutions with repect
to how popular your ideas might become?  Unless I missed it,
I think you forgot to point out the lesson to learn.  Maybe
I'm looking too closely?
