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.

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

CheffoJello ... I like and will remember that ... :P

My issue with your totally stupid attitude towards me is that one of us knows that professional people have looked into this exact issue (and even suggested that one of those people would be good to contact) and one of us couldn't be even be bothered to Google for "4:3 LCD petition" (ProTip: It's the number #1 result IF you had bothered to do ANY research).

If you are having trouble figuring out who is who ... I know how to use Google.

Mimic, I haven't jumped in yet, but they're right. $50,000 pure profit is nothing to a company that would have the resources to pull this off and the opportunity cost of doing this would likely be high (i.e. the loss of whatever they could have been putting their resources into instead).

A small company might jump at $50k pure profit, but I have serious doubts as to a small company's ability to pull this off.

RayB:
We should probably all just shut up and let Rick Nieman have the final word.

*edit; Jan 4: Not worth wasting Rick's time with this nonsense.
