Did you tell him about this forum or are you planning to take credit for the ideas?
The conversation went something like this;
Me: "Hi there Electronics guy, the name's DrDunk."
Him: "Hi DrDunk, nice to meet you, what can I do for you."
Me: "Ahhh, don't ask yourself what can you do for me, instead ask, what can I do for you..."
Him: "What the?"
Me: "We can make a shiteload of money off these great bipolar supplies that I have thought up"
Him: "Ya what?!? Top effort! My first day, and already on a winner..."
Me: "True... Here's my design."
Apologies, that was very lame.
Of course I told him straight away about this excellent forum and the wonderful gurus there waiting to help. I am a scientist, and plagiarism is a big no no...
Thanks for the extra info, I will pass this on to him.
An interesting point, this guy has had a varied life. He actually patented a revolutionary technique to safeguard VCRs from being dubbed.. Apparently they were sold in Russia?!? However then it went belly up when the DVD came out...
Cheers!
