John puts out a bunch of good information and I don't want to fail to acknowledge that while sharing the following. A few years ago, when he was launching Hardware Academy, he advertised somewhere (probably on EEVBlog) for people to join at a reduced price to help get it off the ground. I signed up, only to receive the following a few days later. > Thank you so much for applying to be a Founding Member at the Hardware Academy. > There were only 20 slots available for the first batch of Founding Members, yet within just 24 hours I had 130 people apply. > Although you were not selected as one of the first Founding Members, you will still be given a great discount and early access to the Academy. You will only pay $35/month or $309/year. As far as I recall, there was no disclosure of a limit on the number (only on time). They say people don't remember what you say, but they never forget how they made you feel. I felt like this was some combination of deception to pump up his email list and/or bait and switch on the offering.
