I actually did consider Tesla. And I think he is more important in our history than either Edison or Marconi. But the reason I did not include him in my list was simply that I was not sure if he was more inventor than entrepreneur. I am not sure about that... but if it was so - it is part of the explanation why he never reached the level of public awareness that the others did. We do after all reward our business people more than our pure creators in our culture, and that is one element of the 'dark side' of capitalism, IMHO. regards, cAPSLOCK
