[huskerlug] Re: Thoughts on the Write Brothers and Desktops

The only problem with all this speculation about the
invention of the aeroplane being solely in the hands
of a couple of bicycle mechanics is that the proof
lies in the hands of the curators of the Smithsonian
Museum, in exchange for getting the entire works, of
the family, to not be disclosed until 100 years after
the death of the currently surviving members...

Orville and Wilbur bought the aeroplane from a
successful inventor/farmer, in Ohio... who had made
many witnessed successful flights...

Moreover, there were many successful flights around
the world at the same time...

So, many of hte Western nations accept the successful,
documented flights of Orville and Wilbur, as
REPRESENTATIVE of all the famous, and also the
unknown, pioneers of flight.

Let us never lose sight of the facts that many
technically competent inventors light upon the same
breakthrough in a short time frame, because most
inventions happen for those who strive, and, in an
environment of leading edge experimentation, the
invention is only something whose time has come.  

Whoever has the most money, to purchase the biggest
press release, or is able to afford the court battle,
gets the accolades!
