No I didn't create my own circuit design system,
I didn't create my own microprocessor...(well actually I did, but we 
won't get into that)
I didn't create my own OS...

But the devices I build don't sit on the shelf wanting someone to use 
them either...

I think that most people discussing the GA144 in a negative light are 
really lamenting that it fell so short of what it could have been.

Sometimes I think of designing as exploring a large mansion with many, 
many rooms.  You find rooms that have no lights, some rooms have no 
furniture, some rooms have no heat.  To live in a room you need to find 
one that provides everything you need and does it well.  Exploring and 
finding a room that has some really nice artwork on the wall doesn't 
make up for the lack of running water anywhere on the hallway.  You 
can't live in it.
