And your weissman score is?

(yes I know that's a fictional thing.. I'm just surprised nobody's brought up Pied Piper yet)

Hahaha thanks for joining us chewxy. Funny story, when that show hit screens in April I was very much interested in seeing it, but after the first episode it became Cramtec's worst nightmare. Here's a fictional group of people doing the same thing we've been trying to do for years, and suddenly we're competing for mindshare versus something that doesn't have to create real world results.

Although, we're up against such a thing we like to laugh it off. Because at the end of the day we have what we believe to be a very wonderful invention, that could change the world.

If you're truly interested in the Weissman Score, I'm glad to crack open my calculator and tally it up, but it won't be anything like their score. Time and memory are factors, if I remember right. And we're looking to improve those numbers.

Have you gotten to give it a try chewxy? We'd love some independent results reported. jsaxton86 had a wonderful test and offered many more files which we'll start testing tomorrow.
