Buddy,
I found a typo. Sorry.
A sad True Story.
The owner of a small company found an exciting machine that he could integrate into his existing product and have his business grow and prosper. He had seen videos of the machine running and press releases about the ‘genius’ design. He immediately ordered one. The supplier was an R & D company, so they would only sell a prototype at an up-front premium price. After that, he would be given a complete set of documentation and could build the machines himself, with a royalty to the supplier. As an added incentive, if he would ‘partner’ with the supplier, he would be given an exclusive for his industry. Because of the custom design, delivery was to be six months.
Six months passed and no machine. One year passed and no machine. Finally, after two years it was delivered. So many changes had been made the prototype was not what he envisioned, but he incorporated it into his design. After a few hours of testing, it stopped running. He had bet the whole future of his company on this machine to give him a unique game-changing end product with wide customer acceptance. Instead, his business failed and he had to close his doors. The end.
