But it was Tesla who died in poverty, I remember. And it's his spectre that's attracting the "Tesla coil" conspiracy theories. Not to mention the horrendous amount of baseless claims around his inventions and discoveries. Edison, or Edison's "fans," seem to have been much less controversial and much more upright. Much more productive, too. Tesla worked for both Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse. Why did _he_ die a pauper? --On Wednesday, August 20, 2008 10:21 AM +0100 matt wrote: > >> >> That stack has been implemented in vim.
