This is true, and puzzling to the scientifically
oriented mind. Joachim reads this group too. You'd
think he would have gotten the point by now. If and
when I get a device to the point of release, you had
better believe I will release all of the data with
it. I mean, there really is no point in keeping it
a secret. The //c is like an open oasis market, more
or less untouched for many years, but not so open that
it warrants holding the data private for any reason.
