   You have no clue, no plan, and no hope of ever completing this
project as it ever stands right now. It'll take at least half a
million $ before Apple begins to not laugh at you either. Those
blindly supporting your project are doing so for personal attention,
while knowing that their pledges will never be called upon, and they
can bull**** away amounts of pledges.

   When the drive that eventually became ground was purchased, a price
was determined FIRST, and an plan. Only then was $ collected, for a
reasonable goal. You are going at this the wrong way, and doomed to
failure. When your plan is ridiculed by all those actually *creating*
(as opposed to stealing and/or sector-editing) software, then you
should learn to step back and rethink your "plan."

   Put simply, I'm a realist: your plan is deeply flawed, and your
refusal to acknowledge that and change it dooms your efforts. Get
facts first, not vapor. The Apple II community needs far fewer people
acting like mindless cheerleaders and "directors" and more who
actually do *work*.
