Re: The stupid, the lazy and the first mover
That reminds me of the very first product my startup made in the 80's. It was designed to operate things like lights or electrically operated curtains. It detected a hand clap, and operated a relay. That was it. My colleague and I set up his garage as an office/workshop, and we assembled the things by hand. Delivery and payment was at a motorway service station. Great stuff.
The product was for the rich Arab market, I understand. I hope the customer did well. The whole job was so straightforward, and getting paid on delivery is an unexpected bonus. It's normally "90 days, take it or leave it".
