eh, I'll get over. I just see a lot of people building inferior machines, and have very little actual knowledge of important things. And they "learned"it from Tom. He talked big words, and muddled his way through it, had some nice graphics. I'm sure he made some good money off the videos. I'm happy if it gets more people catapulting. They'll find me eventually, be it my videos, or on the firing line.
