[cctalk] Re: Hardware vs Simh (and FPGA)

That would explain a lack of good FPGA devs tasked with writing FPGAs for companies. It would not explain a lack of good FPGA devs at all. And, to be fair, it _is_ on the `software' side of the "software is the part of a computer you can't smash with a hammer" divide. Underlying what you write, I see a position that typical software-writing mindsets turn out to be somewhere between useless and counterproductive for writing FPGAs. This does not surprise me; indeed, I'd almost expect it - I'm enough of a hardware hacker to have some idea how different hardware is from software. I do too, mostly. I also blame the Western notion of a corporation as a legal person, albeit to a significantly lesser extent. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse at rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
