Maybe your friend was an experienced jerk? There is more to employment than just knowing the stuff.

Cheap, capable but steep learning curve.

Think: plotter, etch-a-sketch, fluorescent text, rotating drum with text, Phil's projector idea, fiber optics and leds, light pipes, mirrors..... don't get painted into a corner with your ideas.
