Thanks for posting the link, it's always nice to learn something new especially first thing in the morning before getting out of bed. I'm glad to see that Jacobsen received the credit and cash due to him but disappointed to learn that Kawasaki tried to screw him in the first place. From what I've read it happens to a lot of inventors, for instance the inventor or ratchet wrench as well as Nicoli (sp?) Tesla (best known for his pioneering work with alternating current) died penniless.
 
Thanks for the info @SuperJetDan. I will hoist a few beers in his honor today.
