Dear Agoracom friends (Re Au Revoir)

I feel I have to interrupt my vow of silence. The flurry of articles and the fear they create here is interesting and I can see many of you are bothered, besides which it’s raining and my Epoxy won’t go off on my planned SULA project today.

It is an undisputed fact that no one person will understand the panoply of information available about modern computing technology. It is only by working in teams and by engaging people with different skills and knowledge that developments can be progressed. We are all dependant here on others to guide us in this respect but that is not always possible, nor are we able to appreciate the significance of something that has been said. We have a problem!

My approach to such problems, I would not necessarily recommend it to you, but it might bring some comfort, is firstly to consider whether the article illuminating some new invention or process is something that is designed to perpetuate the life of CMOS Si, if so then simply file it under interesting but of no consequence folder, because I have some good news for you; you have invested in a company that through the genius of Geoffrey Taylor has invented POET, a process that is a new way forward using Gallium Arsenide, not Silicon, that is faster, uses less power, is cooler, less affected by Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI), combines devices and functions on one chip, can be built relatively cheaply in fabs using current tool sets monolithically (one on top of the other or to the side for that matter) and if that’s not enough it communicates at the speed of light (there is no faster way).

If the article in question is about something beyond CMOS Si, then ask two questions; one, does the article that’s bothering you talk about something that can do all of those things I have listed in the paragraph above? If your answer is no then one has to consider whether it really is a competitor and put it in the file mentioned above. If your answer is yes then it might be a potential competitor (there are always competitors), but then ask yourself the supplementary question; at what point is this product or process along its development cycle? This is important because to compete with POET it has to be ready be the end of 2015 and capable of production in 2016 – POET is about to make those things happen now!

Finally, take a look at the future, where GT is moving towards a transistor, an electronic gate, remember DNWL’s article, which operates at the single electron level (there is nothing smaller or faster) – POET has an amazing future!

Be confident, let some peace take over your minds, do not be alarmed by false Mesiahs .

The POET train is about to arive at the platform on route to a glorious future.
