I've gotta say thatI disagree.

There are surely such individuals alive today and others that have been between now and then. They may not be as visible or, if they are, are rarely presented in the same domain as leonardo. I think it's better to say that no one alive today is as fetishized for their multi-disciplinary capibility as Da Vinci.

It's also not hard to argue that we have more surface area for innovation today as well a society that offers the 'resources' (i say this broadly) for individuals to pursue explorations and discovery.

>you need to actually pay market rate (most companies don't) :D

Most companies don't pay market rate? That's a tad incoherent? If most companies aren't paying 'market rate' then what should we all call the rate the market is paying?

Hint: what most companies pay is by definition 'market rate'

The poster above didn't say not to use PPT as the final format. If you had read OPs issue closely you would probably identify this as a viable work-around.
