Thanks for the ping. I think Tesla is getting his due recognition as time passes. Da Vinci wasn't appreciated as much during his lifetime either.

My father grew up in the former yugoslavia and Tesla was a national hero of mythic proportions. Always talked about him. If you mentioned Tesla to most Americans in the 60's, nobody knew who he was. The same is not true today.

Tesla's true importance will not be realized (or revealed) until about 50 years from now.
