Stephen M. (don't remember spelling), aka Zytrahus, is a young very bright, very educated engr who was/is David's sidekick at Cooling-Masters. That Gabe has chosen NOT to publicize the hiring of someone with his capabilities can be explained only by Gabe's relative insecurity (Gabe's title is CTA, Chief Thermal Architect).
Stephen specialized in testing, understood my crude equipment immediately, and started improving the data collection immediately. Additionally, given his superior education, his analysis capabilities (CFD) are beyond mine.
The other difference between us is my greater experience, but Stephen will catch up quickly given access to good data. Stephen's ability to impact Swiftech will be constrained by the same limit I had, no money for R&D/prototyping

I trained him as part of an agreement to preclude my immediate resignation due to nonpayment, this was the last is a series of broken agreements
but hey, the switch from a high cost employee to low was made
which is ok,I AM a dinosaur
