Not sure on this but the whole "we're first" thing that had to do with first flights in airplanes, and first to hit whatever speeds and now the first waterproof watch, is often down to who sets the date on these things and who was present at the time.

For a watch, is the "first" designation, when it was released to the public or was it a prototype or is it the biggest player in the game can overpower the others.

Don't know...

I don’t get too hung up on all that.

Google wasn’t the first search engine, but it was the one that mattered most.

Apple didn’t have the first computer with a mouse and a graphical user interface, but the Macintosh blazed the trail.

You can argue that Guglielmo Marconi didn’t invent radio, but he gets all the credit for it, and probably for good reason. He's the one who demonstrated the usefulness and enormous implications of radio.

Man, there are some brilliant people in this hobby.

As for the book, I was excited. I can’t say I truly am now. I don’t know if it will be added to my library or not.
