[sdiy] Having a hard time finding the chips you want - roll your own!

[Rob B]

Oh my god!! Geek hell!!!

HAHA!!

It *does* look very interesting though.. I mean, most books I have read
lately all say that in the future, the only way to make money will be to own
a small home factory with doing ultimately customizable one offs for each
customer. Where the economy started with 1-2 man operations, then progressed
to million man operations, so shall it again fall back to 1-2 man operations
when technology catches up. This is a harbinger of the *real* new economy,
not that virtual crap all the silly ppl threw money at (okay, ill admit, i
was tempted)

No storage, no warehousing, very little wait, no overhead to speak of, just
great products in exactly the functionality, colors and schemes the customer
wants.

Maybe I smoked some bad stuff in my heydey too, but, who knows for sure..
hehe.

So, in this new barter system/small scale economy, who wants to be the town
chipsmithy? hehe. Im already the plastics parts/machining smithy.
