Just wanted to point out that you are not breaking from the pack TO much considering that rouge allready pointed out Guttenberg. I defintly concur he had great influence. But one question is this. The printing press seems rather obvious (in retrospect aleast) so is it possible that it was inevitable and he just happened to be the one?
