Interesting story BobF, but a couple of differences here. Edison founded his Electric Light Company at around the same time he made the first public demonstration of his incandescent light bulb (MJP was formed in 1998) and I doubt that he burned the kind of money that MJP has over the last 30 odd years.

One interesting quote though from Mr. Edison:

"We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles."

Haven't times changed since then?
