Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Design Protection (patent) Question
What I am starting to
accept is that most of what I am going to
incorporate are concepts that have
already been proven and designed by others.
I guess I am feeling like I am
cheating a little!
Hi, Steve . . .
No sense reinventing the noodle. In any case,
your boat will certainly get into the water that much sooner. My priority
is subbing in canyon valleys, along walls, through kelp beds, along reefs,
etc. I'm at the stage where I've stopped intellectualising and just want
to get into the water. I want to bring all of my kids along for rides,
but, they won't be kids forever.
Thirty years of dreaming is long
enough.
