I have experience points of sorts in both hardware and software.<br>That and a certain degree of having seen what worked or did not has been instructional.<br>All of that to explain my creds for why I am directing this in a path someone may profit from.
<br><br>We can now order in SMD form components that were science fiction tech dreams- and thought to forever remain so. Sparkfun for example has some projects worth looking at to get into &quot;what&#39;s under the hardware hood&quot; so to speak. Once you get competent with SMD tech and board design it becomes possible to baby step for real some of the concepts in the&nbsp; &quot;where does cpu/memory go?&quot; As in - someone proposed early X80? or suchlike cpu on a memory device. Well- why not have some ubergeeken amongst us whack together some prototypes? Sadly my skills are a bit rusty compared to others on list- but then again, if I get bored this winter? The whole point is- 
<br>We are good at arguments but have been a bit slack on incarnating much. I would love to see KCLUG as a group produce something of dramatic impact, but will settle for some hack that does something at all.<br><br>Oren
