I've been known to make fun of vacuum manufacturers who choose to be innovative lazy.... and there's plenty of them.

One of the things I admire about Dyson is his apparent lack of bitterness or malice when MANY betrayed him.  I own an Amway/Bissell ClearTrak just so I can show my son (when he is old enough) proof of how people do steal and can screw independent inventors.

 

Moose, there is a great new book on Dyson and Podcast here.  Look for the arrow icon which plays embedded streaming audio.        DIB

Thanks, I'll read, haven't yet.  Was curious about the dyson plan for the Engineer School.  And thought what in the world is Mr. D doing with all this money?  And then thought the good part of the $289 Million was for the School and Scholarships.

I began reading and realized I read already.  Then I looked at the date, March 11, 2007, for dyson's operations in 2006.

Yes, I know.  This article is all of late on Dyson financials.  There is much written of the city of Bath's "little men in big chairs" who continue to string Dyson along for years.  He has had many offers from other cities who want James' school.        DIB
