Oh - same guy was also the person you can blame for the origional popularity of the microwave oven. The oven was a major failure until he saw it demoe'd at Raytheon and said that they were going it the wrong way - pushing it toward fancy resteraunts - that it should be put to the smaller cafe's on bus and train routes that get a lot of traffic sporadically - and two test sites were set up in the Boston area just to do that. It was such a success that sales really started on word of mouth. I'm going to hear him lecture tonight about his experiences as Patton's forward observer and workign with the french underground.
