Cheer up, there's a bright side.  The patents may have expired, and in that
case, you're free to use the idea without having to pay royalties.  The
means if you can make it cheaper than anyone else and still make a profit,
your idea might still have legs.  Visit the patent office site on the web
and look around.

Edison, IIRC, had more failures than successes.  My favorite was his talking
doll company that went bust:

It seems that after a few plays of the wax recording hidden inside the doll,
the playback became horrifically screechy sounded, scary the bejeezus out of
the very kids it was meant to entertain.  Now, of course, Edison has become
so famous that even old shares of his bankrupt doll company sell for $3000
and up.  Not that Edison reaps that benefit, however.  :-)  God only knows
what intact dolls with playable recordings are worth if a piece of paper
commands such a high price.

You'd better cut back!!!!!  :-)   But don't stop looking for new ideas.  I
think one of the reasons for Edison's success is that he didn't discourage
easily.  Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
