No basic invention was done thru capitalist influence - right the other way, all Inventors around the 1940s did build their machines in a dictatorship like government driven environment (no intelligent capitalist would have spend a single Pfennig to build a Z3 or Mark I). Also later on things like GUI have been developed in a non capitalist environment. Not to mention things like the Ekta(?)plane (The caspian monster :). -- Ich denke, also bin ich, also gut HRK
