I love Florida - its the only place I go where I get asked for proof of age when buying booze, and the staff are serious

Glad to hear your doin better now Steve... I like the sound of this reiki thing.... Does it work for hyper active children? I could really do with some kind of tantrum curing powers at the mo... P.s. don't mention magpies! You'll get in even more trouble!

Actually Tesla was ostracized for worse reasons. He was on the wrong side of a battle between the millionaires of the day battling for supremacy. One side backed Tesla and the other backed Edison. It was like a real life game of Monopoly (which was actually designed to immulate those 19th century battles)

I will give you all a few good reasons to LOVE TESLA!

LOL. Thanks but no more reasons needed. I was already a Tesla fan.

Lacking the ability to get his inventions accepted surely they only became useful when others developed them? Being dead it is immaterial to Tesla whether he is recognised or not.

Its part of the serendipity of invention that the genius mind that starts the process is unlikely to be its fullest developer or best marketing man He died impoverished so he's not my first role model as a business man for sure! But I find him fascinating as a rare and very gifted presentation of the autistic spectrum.
