RE: CAT Box Project (interest gauge)

While this is all fine and good. I am right now looking at what kind of
interest I can get on the "Works alike" model 1.0.

I have lots of ideas for V 2.0 of the project but first things first we need
to get hands on a "Works alike" so we have something to build on. Now I
don't relish the idea of having to build 10 of these up by hand but if I
don't get any real interest in the 1.0's I might have to. And it will
seriously dampen the likely hood of a v 2.0 any time soon.

But don't give up hope on the bells and whistles. I am keeping notes and
all the "Volunteers" for work like dear old Kurt WILL be hearing from me in
the future :)

It would be different if I had a CB of my very own that I could really use
to build upon. Plus I really need to use one hands on so I can get a feel
for what it really does and what it "should" do. I can think of a lot of
things but until I can play with it I really can't design for it.

So I need to get my v 1.0 working unless someone is going to come forward
with one to sell me cheap or lone to me long term while I work on v 2.0.
The others working with me on this will of course also be better able to do
the 2.0 work if they are able to play with a works alike.

Wow, I am starting to sound like a manager fighting feature creep. YUCK....

Time to go back to Code Monkey mode.
