Leonardo DaVinci
By Bruce Shawkey
Anyone who is into gadgets and neat inventions that were ahead of their time has to appreciate Leonardo DaVinci. A single page from his various journals, especially those with his drawings, is darned near priceless. A 1980 auction of one of his notebooks went for $5 million in 1980. The buyer was none other than Bill Gates.I found a source on the Internet that shows several pages for free. The address is here:

Here are a few images from the notebook.
