To prevent future sabotage through greedy future execs... plus it 
establishes an image... It'd be a hobby business.... A business for 
Justice!.. :-)

I've also thought about doing the light bulbs we know how to make that 
don't burn out but aren't on the market because they'd destroy the 
market for light bulbs.  I'd love to destroy a few markets just for 
kicks... but I call them recycling the market.... or forcing innovation.
