Thanks for the fine info. Almost missed it with all that dick measuring going on in this thread. I know one thing. This guy with the unpronouncable name is going to be as rich as Bill gates if he has any business acumen at all.

Maybe richer! After all he really invented something. Unlike Wm. Gates III who "borrowed" every piece of technology he sells.

Well, apparently what he did was write a really small program for a standard PIC microcontroller that implements a minimally acceptable TCP/IP stack, webserver & telnet. So he wrote a gem of a concise program, but it was all software. It's not like he designed a chip or something.

I hope there was enough space left over on the PIC for his copyright statement! :-)

That would be a rare combination. Let's not forget that a part of Gates success can be laid to the fact that his mother was on the board of directors at IBM when he sold them the rights to use DOS. Talk about having a "Rabbi"!

None the less,I am sure this young man will suddenly have thousands of new friends,all of whom will be more that willing to learn how to pronounce his name,and all of whom will be MBA's.
