Are you are talking about the CETI demonstration they showed in the hotel next to Disneyland? The one that was supposed to impress Motorola. That was a DISGRACE!!! It was horrible. They did not even have a written description of it! When I wrote one, they used mine, for crying out loud. Without permission. This was after they almost threw me out because I wanted to their temperature (which was right) and flow (which was wrong). And why was it so bad? For the most idiotic reason imaginable. Patterson and Reding told me that they deliberately designed that to be unimpressive. They wanted to sway Motorola but not excite anyone else's interest. It was supposed to be carefully calibrated to be bad -- dreadful, really -- but just a smidgen good enough to bring in $20 million. It was enough to make me throw up. When I told Chris Tinsley about it on the phone that night I was hopping mad. Furious. By the time I finished we were both laughing hysterically. Chris and I had had experience doing demonstrations of products at trade shows. We knew a disaster when we saw it. If that was your idea of a demonstration you have no clue. > I don't believe a word that Jed says about corporations jumping in and > throwing money at commercialization. > I repeat, if you think a corporation or any sane investor would put money into something as poorly presented as that, you have no clue. That demonstration made Rossi look like a consummate professional. I will grant the thing was probably working as claimed. As far as I could tell, it was. But if it had been done properly, with proper instruments, a written description and a professional presentation script, I could have used to that device to convince any corporation on earth. I could have brought in $100 million *in my sleep*. I offered to do this but Patterson rejected all offers of help, just as Rossi and others have done. Patterson told me he wanted a 100% market share. He got that, and took it to the grave with him. 100% of nothing. > The proof and methodology is already there.

You have not lifted a finger to change public perception. I have done that. You have contributed nothing because you hide your light under a bushel. (You do not publish your results.) A person who does research but does not publish is no scientist. Rossi is no scientist, but he does research and tries to sell, so he is a businessman, instead. You are neither. Patterson was neither. - Jed
