Great interview in TAS (but....)

Mike in MD · 14th March 2009, 03:28 PM

I really enjoyed reading the interview with Nelson Pass in TAS, but (if I'm not being too picky) I'd like to correct the Edison quotation on the bottom of page 94. Edison said:

Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration.

[10% inspiration is just too much to expect.

]

Thomas A. Edison (1847 - 1931), Harper's Monthly, 1932

Yes, nice interview, but the cat

is out of the bag. I'm sure he does all the work, one look at the development circuits immediately confirms my suspicion.

ps. How do you get the cat to write the patent applications?
