Very NICE! I've heard about you guys but never tried...yet!

A question if I may: Any particular reason for calling yourselves a hardware company? Wouldn't electronics be more appropriate and familiar to the people checking you out?

[blackguardx]

Electronics and hardware are the same thing. I'm a hardware engineer and I design electronics. The term hardware could also be used to describe things like nuts and bolts but but that isn't a common usage in engineering.

So is the guy I'm working with but he is a couple of layers above the transistors...more into FPGA/Systems/Logic CAD.

I understand your point; only wondering why use 'hardware' and not 'electronics' - from a business development perspective. Perhaps it points to future plans.

We real hardware people don't take too kindly to FPGA types declaring themselves to be hardware people. They're really only initializing a stinkin' big pile of look-up tables anyway.

You get to be hardware when you use a soldering iron :P

[namank]

Gett there...slowly but surely!!

Thanks,

We are using hardware because we are trying to enable making. Electronics is really near to our hearts, and a really big part of the way that we "make", so this is where we are starting.

Cool! Definitely going to be on the lookout for when you guys make your way back to Waterloo.
