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)
