Just as a general offer, if any of you are out of work, and have a pet idea you always wanted to work on and never had time before, I'll try to help if you want a patent.
 
It's not unusual for someone to lose their job, and end up way ahead when the dust settles.

It's happening everywhere Curt. I was laid off two months ago and very few
