"speaking up will inspire Ed to get excited again"

It is not just ED getting inspired.
It takes several people working to make something like this work.
I used to do research and write articles every chance I got. I love doing it.
It has been 4 years since I jumped on a plane and flew somewhere to research chips. Its been 4 years since I spent an afternoon on the phone calling everyone with the last name of a guy that got chips delivered in the 1940's.
I have 4 partial research projects that I started in the spring of 2001. One only needs 1 little piece to fall in place. Haven't even looked at them since Aug 2001.
The Palms don't leave much time for that stuff.
