If you happen to read this later on -- you will have to use i-player. What would Fox Talbot have made of that then? |

On the other hand people like James Watt just improve an old invention slap a binding patent on any further development and rake in the royalties whilst holding up the Industrial Revolution for nearly a quarter of a century. ( I will get off my soap box now) |
