Dave Smith Interview

Post by Check » Mon Dec 04, 2006 9:11 am

I found these while in my endless search to figure out if I want the PEK or the Adromeda. There's a good chance this has been posted (I searched, couldn't find anything), they all run about 30min a peace. Dave smith explains some background info on himself/his companies.

Part4:

I watched them all




















Twice

That was great, thanks for the links. I was watching part 4 and could not help from thinking that Dave should not have employees wear large (READ: SHARP) jewelry while assembling a chassis or circuit boards =)

Part one, two and four? :P What happened to three?

I've seen those documentaries a while ago and they were informative and entertaining. Seems Dave was always two steps ahead of the pack and too early for his ideas for flourish in the market.

Comes across as a really sincere guy too.

:lol:

Is Dave more dangerous than he seems then? Dave Smith is such a common name - he's gotta be hiding something from us all. ;)
