[Boatanchors] An interesting book

[Jim Brannigan]

Few inventions are like Athena "Sprung full-blown from Zeus's head"
Idea is built upon idea and the credit usually goes to the person with the 
vision, perseverance and financing to create a viable commercial product.
Edison, Marconi and Bell are examples.
