this has made me more interested than I was in the history of technological innovation as well.

I have to restrain myself from putting more about this on the tread, as it is a passion of mine.

The story of "Longitude" on A&E is a terrific one, although I think it would have been better if they had left out the modern part, and stayed with the back story. The development of an accurate maritime clock to be used to determine longitude was so simple an idea that the bureaucrats of the the time derided it.

If you wonder at how fast we are moving, realize how recent the Longitude story was, and then look at 12 year old Boy Scouts walking around in the forests today, with a fairly cheap belt device that can give them an accurate global position within a few hundred feet.

RE: JDSU

I got in at the high point of JDSU, and am just now even on it. I am still down over 30% on Sandisk, ELON, and GMST, but I think I will be in the green on these by the end of the year. If not, by, by!!
