Ditto. I've been broke many times before, and I'll be broke again --
but after 20 years of consulting, I'm not afraid of being broke -- I
will survive.
"Impossible dream"? It doesn't seem so to me. I completely disagree
with the approach taken wrt video, but the basic CPU seems quite
do-able -- there's nothing impossible about it.
I don't wish to be unkind or kick a man when he's down, but it *was*
Jeff's choice; let him learn from his mistakes and get a bloody
nose, just as I did (and still do).
Interesting to see that
[http://www.ultratechnology.com/hb.htm]
explicitly says: "pursue criminal prosecution", which means
'fraud' -- NOT a civil 'breach-of-contract'. Talk about getting into
hot water! Yikes!
BTW I am still willing to buy a couple of T-shirts, even @ $50US a
pop... post a .JPG when the graphics are sorted-out.
