Austin, my latest report on the "drop test" may answer both those questions for you. As you recall, Ray was developing a more suitable "speed test" to compare the performance of the FPGA and the Infineon chip. I had alluded to the fact that a step ladder and some bubble wrap were rumored to have been purchased. A week has passed and I am excited to say that "they" have stumbled across some major tech improvements. I would love to "tell all" but I recently signed an NDA and received 200k shares for providing them with a 40 foot ladder and a radar gun.

Now, as for the comparisons of the gentlemen involved, hmmm, lets see... Brad is definitely in charge holding the radar gun, but allows Ray to handle the specifics of the testing. Ray is having a blast climbing up and down the ladder. He is incredibly optimistic and keeps singing some little diddy about "going to the bank". Rich is holding the ladder with one hand and video taping with the other. He keeps giving Ray high fives and slapping him on the butt every time he starts climbing the ladder. (not on video tape, though) John H...., well he is looking on...very proudly in fact, and keeps repeating, "we found a diamond, no red flags here, revenue by Q4."

Oh, Mr Cooper? Well, unfortunately when Ray was singing his little song at the top of the ladder, Tom told him to shut the ******* up. Ray lost his concentration and dropped the FPGA and hit Rich in the head. Good news and bad news. Tom was irate and left for "personal" reasons; however, the prototype has never flown faster. When Brad yelled out the radar speed, Ray "hung 10" right off the ladder and landed on JH. The last thing I heard was the word "Morons" as Brad ran off to go tell his industry contacts.

As far as why we're 42 cents instead of 42 dollars, austin, I haven't a clue. :)
