AGAIN I'm not saying (after how SavannahLion explained) is possible. Do you understand. I just said 50K profit PROFIT is good for anyone. That's it. Get it?

I think you need to take things less personally and take at least an introductory course in finance ... $50K in profit is only good if the ROI is good.

EDIT: DJ beat me to the punch

Gorotsuki:

Ouch.
This thread even hurts me,
and I didn't offer it up.


CheffoJeffo:

The sad thing is that I don't think anybody here would object to big 4:3 LCDs being available ... people just don't like being told that they're wrong ... or that they're defeated.

You and CheffoJello don't convince me at all because you and I, all are just speculating. So even if you're 99% right that leaves 1% that there is a line unused and few engineers standing around, playing MAME in their cubicles, that they wouldn't mind putting them to work for 50K profit. So unless you can produce a statement on their company letterhead stating: Dear BYOAC member CheffoJello & DJ_Insani are right and we piss on 50K profit. Then you didn't convince me  ;D

This group of engineers is likely costing $50 000-$100 000 per year EACH in salary, plus the cost of their work space, benifits and stuff like that.  They would make a greater profit by FIREING this group of do nothing slacker engineers that are just screwing around at work playing MAME than to put them on a $50 000 profit project.
