Now you want me to voluntarily work towards the destruction of the American
capitalistic system?  Its bad enough that if Obama has his way I'll be
better off to quit working and go on the dole rather than try build business
and work towards a stronger economy.  Now you want me to voluntarily become
a socialist?

I don't really hate DMP.  They just aren't good enough for me.  Maybe the
newer stuff is better, but working on old DMP is like working on DSC stuff
to me.  I always feel like I am their beta tester.  I may even fix that bad
board myself if I can figure it out to keep it as a spare.  I do still have
a bunch of them in the field.  I think since DMP never lived up to any of
their agreements with me I may even take the time to figure out how to crack
one.  They did tell me there was a crack for them.  Well, after many years
Sharp finally did pay me back for the charges to my credit card for things I
didn't order, but other than that they really never lived up to their word.

The thing is piddling around and tinkering with this stuff doesn't excite me
like it used to.  I spend my spare tinkering time manufacturing machine
parts and injection molds these days.  I have retrofit one clapped out CNC
machine, redesigned (somewhat) another to get better performance, and I am
slowly accumulating parts to retrofit an old proprietary one (Hurco) to
modern PC control.  That is fun to me these days.
