Fred, Why don't you move to France where you'll fit right in ?:-)

I think I will, I would enjoy living in France, at least there's some
semblance of culture there.


Be careful! A lot of that 'culture' is resistant to all known
antibiotics. On second thought: Enjoy yourself, while you last.

French medical science rivals the world, to this day they continue to
make great breakthroughs. Louis Pasteur is the Isaac Newton of modern
microbiology, a great genius.

French engineering is pretty good too.

French Fries are better.


Hey, this place is just swarming with French cars and semiconductors
and A380's and A350XWBs and electronic test equipment and cell phones
and computers.

Not!

Hey, look at this:

http://www.greenfieldtechnology.com/

This guy copied my logo, my product line, and my business model. But
not very well.


Optical pulse width rise time 1nsec? Yawn. I am sure you guys run
circles around them. I wouldn't be too concerned ;-)

Your logo is the surf, their logo looks like anorexic birds.



Our logo is Mt Tamalpias, as seen from the Bay Bridge toll plaza. That
should be obvious!


Oops, shoulda known. However, most of the time I just pass by the Bay
Bridge because my Bay Area clients somehow tend to be on the east side
of the bay.

Have you ever driven across the new Martinez bridge span? I did, even
before the formal opening was announced on TV. What separates motorists
from the lanes and sure death is merely a divider as they are used in
roadworks. When driving in the right lane you can look down (!) on the
rusty railroad span. Scary. I could imagine a lot of people who would
badly need a bathroom right at the toll plaza on the other side. Just
imagine a biker losing control on that brigde.


The guy who started Greenfield originally proposed being our rep. His
idea was that he'd set up a service facility in France, to repair our
stuff, and that we should start by our sending him all our schematics.
Really!


Oh man. But I was never scared of copycats. While they are busy laying
out a board we'd always be on to the next generation.

But why did he call it Greenfield and not Champ Vert? Anglicisms are
quite frowned upon in many places there.
