I am sure that there are numbers of us on this list who think that they have
made an outstanding discovery that will keep them in clover but then discover
that although they have invented a better mouse trap no one is going to be
interested if the potential customers have never seen a mouse.
If Mr Berger's process is that good he should patent it .
If he does not wish to do so it would be better to make an income from it by
running workshops and getting someone to make up kits and market them for him.
His proposed fee at the moment seems a little high given that there will be no
large scale commercial market for his' invention' as the market will be limited
to enthusiasts such as ourselves.
Perhaps Mr Berger should brief Richard Sullivan and Keith Dugdale or similar
entrepreneurs; in mainland Europe someone called Pollmeier comes to mind.
