May be you'd like to know a little more about kslaughter. In about 1983 I was programming manager for a team of 8 programmers. It was my job to hire and train C-programmers out of college. KSlaughter was the brightest of the bunch. At one time, I was his team leader. Today, I learn from him. I can't say whether he will accomplish all he has set forth, but I believe in him enough to invest some of my own funds in his AMC project. After all, all of his first profits are to go back to the original investors, the way I understand it, until they receive all their money back, and that's from machines that he has already paid for!!!. Even if he only part way accomplishes his goals, there is little risk and there is the possibility of a big score. My gosh! I feel like this guy who is trying to accomplish great things is getting torn to shreds because of a few hasty mistakes. Let him who is without mistakes cast the first critique! He moves fast and is more of a "Get it done" person than a detail person. If he took time to dot every i, and cross every t, then he would still be writing his proposal instead of working on making things happen.
