[sdiy] was : Anybody French, know this guy?

Mmmh... I am tempted to temper these enthusiastic
comments...
Although everything that has been said is true, should
we really jump to the conclusion that it is mind blowing ?

I mean : according to what has been said, in the DIY domain
the net seems to allow 2 or 3 kind of things :
- doing things that would have never been done
- finding and buying parts faster
- finding schemos, pcb designs, etc.

IOW doing easier and faster things that could be done
before (the net was widespread).

Perhaps is it time to try to reach the full potential of the net,
by instance in including it in synth design : remote maintenance
and upgrade, remote tuning, realtime musical collaborations
between distant synths with their own IP address, distributed
GAs or NNs across SDIYers's computers to achieve better
designs, etc etc etc etc...
I don't have much time to elaborate on this but I guess you see
my point : imagination seems to be the only limit...
