Jon, I had the idea of taking 10 Bens to Scale where maybe I sell 5 or more in random hallway interactions
Never heard form Wolfgang, so now that window has passed and I will not invest my time and money to attend (LA is about 200 miles away). You confuse me with True Believers. I am not. I have \ an ongoing (at least for now) interest in new ways Ben might be used. You have my permission to no longer bug me about how I should sell Nanonotes to advance the cause you, Wolfgang & many others so passionately believe in. I have DEEP respect for your philosophy, but it does not happen to be my passion. The reason I have invested time and personal contact "capital" to explore UBB production is that it is interesting, I am curious to learn more, and maybe there is a small market for Nanonotes attached to other systems as a control node. I have already said to David (Tuxbrain) and Werner (wpwrak) that is David gets there first my project will go on hold. With maybe 1,100 Ben;s on this globe. one source of UBB boards will be adequate. ;) Jon, if you or others decide my participation harms your cause, please email me at [email protected] and I'll immediately stop monitoring qi-hardware irc and list. I have a Nanonote on my desk now. I'll poke around a bit. So far I know it needs a driver if I want to\ use it as a (small) USB attached disk. No, I am not in the driver writing business. But if someone in the qi-software community were to locate a windows driver that talks to Ethergadget, I'll happily experiment with it. Ron K.
