Most people in this country remember idiots like Edison, but few remember the
man we owe so much too, Tesla.  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.
