I'd be more interested if I thought that would ever ship the items I ordered and
asked for. What's it been now, 3 years? 4 years? and I'm still waiting. Does
everyone have to wait this long, or do you dislike only me for some reason?

Paul is absolutely correct. I owe him stuff for a long time. I come up with an
idea and he jumps on it and I have never followed through with him. Hopefully he
has never paid me for anything he has not received--but I will confess. It is
entirely my fault. And I will go back into the shop right this minute and start
to work on his orders. And if I owe you money for something you have not
received--email me immediately and will send you a refund + interest to you
immediately.
What can you really say when you screw up except that you screwed up.

Actually, the ability to do that is rather rare. Actually, closer to
non-existent in my experience. So bravo for saying it (this is coming from
someone who *has* had custom orders go through just fine).
On the original subject, this actually sounds kind of cool, although I can't
immediately think of a whole lot of robotics applications... but I probably
will. Like moving true multi-hued grey-scaled parts under a light sensor for
fine position resolution... OK, there, I already thought of one :).

Back in the late 60's or early 70's a guy name Steve Brand (this if from memory)
came out with The Whole Earth Catalog--An Access to Tools. Big rage in the
hippie/design/commune/techno geeky subcultures. He essentially provided a source
for tool and from there applications resulted.
Creative people always find applications for new tools that the tool maker never
envisioned. I am just providing a tool for another one in the tool box. It will
be interesting to see where it goes. (and how long before I have
competition--lol)

Steve/Stewart not bad for 40 years of being in a muddled brain of millions of
pathways. Even got “access to tools” right. As you can tell, that was a really
important book in my youth. And memories from youth are the ones that stick the
best in old age.
Incredibly interesting reading and would make a good resource for anyone wanting
to learn about the years when technology really bloomed. Low tech and high tech.

60's, huh? Although I wasn't there myself, my uncle always said if you
remember the 60's, you weren't there. You remembered part of it. Does that
mean you were partially there? ;)

Well that is a fairly accurate statement. Although I was still pretty grounded
in the 60's--it was the 70's that were really where semi-presence occurred in
me. Amd from Paul's post I guess semi-presence is still hanging around me. lol
You must remember we were forging new frontiers back then. Today just kind of
tweaking them..
