Just goes to show how Edison was a better businessman and marketeer than Tesla (among other things). I wonder if he's (Edison) responsible for the fact that most companies have you sign some sort of techincal 'waiver' or exclusive contract when they hire you on. >Ken Arndt >PS Get the Tesla Soc. address??
