DAMN, just saw a very informative docu

WOW amazing, really

story

Dutch programmer works 20 years on code. it is a compression thing for code. For example a WHOLE book only read 1234.

The chip could play 14! movies in fast speed on a simple laptop etc. It was HUGE. The guy looked around for some Dutch investers. Found 2 good guys, and then Roel Pieper(head philips at that time) came in the game.

He flew around the whole world together with the dude, and it was huge, all big guys said WOW, and told you will be the next bill gates. Even banks gave 50.000.000 on forehand.

Funny thing is Roel Pieper started a new company for the code thing, and left Philips, while he still had a few months there.

Two days before they signed contracts, and the dutch guy would became bilionair, he died in his garden.

Next strange thing is, his room was always messy with 1000's of papers and code. Everything was clean now.....

Wonder when this code will appear...These kinda things really makes you think.....
