In my sheltered life I am only exposed to the criticism from those in Boeblingen who still talk to me ;-) When I was forced to prototype the 2GB I/O bypass myself to prove that I was right, the comments on my code did not appear helpful at that time. Looking back, the comments from Carsten was not the reason I had to do the work again. The reason was that during the first attempt I had no clear view on the finish and the path I followed was curved. Doing it again is easier. I am sure the solution provided by the folks in Boeblingen did not use anything from my work. That's good because Martin c.s. need to sign off with their blue blood and they probably did not trust I did this myself. :-) But I had a good day being proud of myself, and still believe I made a difference in getting something out in the field.
