Tesla is perrhaps the most unappreciated man in electronics. I did a report on Marconi as a kid, and somewhat idolized him. But thanks to the modern retrospectives by the History Channel, PBS and others, I see that he was the one behind most most innovative products in the early 20th century. It would be fun to rank all of the inventors from that era and see how they stack up.

Cheers,
