Hi Ed,

Its perception that counts.  Its generally taught that Marconi invented
radio.  That was taught to me when I was in high school or earlier.  Yet
today there are many historians who believe he was a fraud.  I'd much
rather believe that Tesla invented radio, even if the Supreme Court
didn't explicitely state it.  

BTW, the IEEE Magazine article should be in the Educational Corner.  The
original idea of my site was to put EM simulator code into a language
that was readable, fast, and interpreted for educational use.  Much of
it is covered under the GNU open source license.  Rob.
