Rick Jamison invented a modem interface? Is it a short fat one?

Sorry -- but that's the patent I came up with when I clicked on the link... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> "copy and paste" -- what a concept -- that works! Pretty interesting reading -- He does reference Palmaisano and Pindell, but claims a unique combination of case, chamber and bolt design to make it all work.

You know -- I don't think you can fault the guy for being smart enough to put the patent application together and make it stick. And if he patented it before Winchester/Browning developed their WSM line -- then the law is on his side, whether it makes sense or you like it or not.

As an old friend in Wyoming used to say:

"It may not be right, but it is so."

In this case, it may even be right...

"The more you run over a dead cat, the flatter it gets."

"If you're asking me something technical, you may be looking for My Other Brother Darrell."

"It ain't foot-pounds that kills stuff -- it's broken body parts."
