i think it is cleaner if we communicate using your
fsu email account.  it may be better if you could
reply from fsu instead of syr.

the time i cancelled my plan to stop by syracuse, i arranged and met
scott at Chicago instead.  i convinced him that sometimes working
for startup can be good

i am thinking about getting scott snyder who worked
on PC-Cube & Mac-Cube to work for me as senior
software architect or even chief architect.  as a phd
in hep and working for brookhaven and fermi, i think
he has an inclination for certain type of working environment.

here's what i am thinking as one scenario
of our co-development effort:

i'll try my best to get scott by creating a flexible environment
in which he may even reside in your academic organization
as a visiting scientist while one of his charter will be to work on
the new software design and development with the team that
you are putting together.   as a sidebar, even though your attorney
has found a case law re non-compete, i think we have to establish
a clean-room development process to be on the safe side of not
being contaminated in the design before we are confident about
the non-compete issue.

in any case, this scenario would allow scott to roam around campus
in the middle of the night or to attend seminars on campus if he likes.

is this possible?
