Early in the article he references his machine tool start-up [1] as an example of people taking advantage of you because you're really interested in the technology. I've been through that ringer twice, so perhaps I don't learn as fast as Jacques. What's funniest to me is that one of those companies [2] was selling stepper motor based machine conversion kits (I started with them in 1983) and had the same lack of feedback as Jacques machines. That company learned from its mistakes and is actually still in business though . I was just a kid and what impressed me most is that the technical guys who started the business, learned to run the business in the same manner as you'd debug any hardware or software project.
