[Elecraft] K3 - APP and the network effect

[Jeff Wandling NT7R]

One fax machine is worthless.
Two, still pretty much worthless; except you can fax the other guy "you 
too huh?"
10, getting warmer
100, hotter
etc..
Billions of fax machines -- now they are very valuable appliances.

APP's are more popular the more that are used.  Elecraft made an 
_engineering_ decision to use them, but it also probably came with some 
analysis of what would make sense in the 'network effect' scenario.  Who 
cares. Solder it, crimp it; just build the sucker.

K3s won't revolutionize the power to the rig scenario, they are just going 
with the flow, as will I.

As long as Miller don't try capping my beer bottles with a spin-off APP 
device, everything is going to be A-OK.

My K3 number?  It's currently gestating in the silicon bowels of the chip 
foundry half-way around the world.  I'm weepy.

ps. Are we off topic enough yet? ;)
