A great man indeed and one of a kind.... sad to think so many people cash-in on something which was created for helping third world countries out of their crisis situation. Also to read he had no living relatives.
Another 'end of the road' story.

That was very sad news indeed....seems he led a very secluded life after his invention....like so many brilliant people do who do wonderful things.
