Actually, it was a team of 4, and one might take offense at being called a guy. But, yes, they're all gone.

Hey Carl,

Sorry about that, I was under the impression you were the lead designer?  I take it your a hardware designer, not a programmer, is that correct?

It would be great to see a modernized version of the V3i, but I suspect White's wont be doing that any time soon, then again one never knows.

I’m pretty sure Carl was the Engineering Manager at Whites, having responded to their need for one to bring several projects to completion - which he did.

Yeah, my only involvement with the V3 design was to "shoot the engineer."

I do both hardware and software. Coming from a chip design background, my real expertise is analog design, but I do a significant amount of C/C++ programming, too.

Funny story.  I followed Carl’s Geotech forum for several years.  One day I was looking at Whites webpage and for no good reason, clicked on the “careers” tab (or whatever it was called).  I saw that they were looking for a Chief Engineer.  Very soon after (or maybe just before I did that ) Carl posted on Geotech that he was taking a job in the detector industry (or something like that) and would therefore be somewhat restricted as to what he could disclose in future.

I PM’d him and asked if he took the job at Whites —— Bingo.

forums are fun - if you keep your eyes and ears open.
