[Mike Miller <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

This looks like a good show.  It is on PBS tonight at 9 pm up here, maybe 
in Missouri too:


Tesla: Master of Lightning
Thursday, December 2 at 9PM

Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), was one of the greatest inventors of the 20th 
century, with over 700 worldwide patents to his name. He was a visionary 
genius whose radical ideas created the technology that connects the world 
with power and information. Controversial and misunderstood, his 
incredible story is finally being brought to the screen.

Tesla's most famous invention is his system of AC power generation and 
transmission that is used universally today. He also invented the tesla 
coil to create high-frequency electricity. This led to the creation of 
neon and fluorescent lighting, radio transmission, remote control, and 
hundreds of other devices that are now an essential part of our everyday 
lives. The documentary finally sets the record straight on Tesla's 
inventions and accomplishments. Edison and Marconi are frequently credited 
for the invention of AC power transmission and radio. The program 
demonstrates that this is not the case.
