[Diy_efi] EGOR Technology/Gar Willis - Me too

[bcroe at juno.com]

I remember putting myself on Gars' waiting list to get the 
EGOR, I dropped from the lists.  No money involved, at least.  
After some months I started e-mailing Gar about what the 
situation was.  Never received a single response.  After 9 
months I got impatient, got back on the lists, tried to get 
involved with the WB, the thing took off about then.  Gar 
accused me of stealing his design, the first of many 
accusations.  I am still trying to figure out what he was 
selling, it seemed to be made out of unobtanium.  Did 
anyone get some of his product?  

The DIY-WB was quite a bargain for those not willing or 
able to lay out kil-o-bucks, although the EGOR would have 
been reasonable if if wasn't vaporware.  Gar must have 
typed 100 words a minute; just reading some of those 
posts was a project.  Very creative too, but not in the 
positive sense.  We were well informed of the DIYs 
less than kilobuck performance, unfortunately the flaws 
were considerably exagerated.  An add on fix for the 
minimum heater voltage has been released for the 
few who really need it, the calibration issue was blown 
completely out of reality, and just maybe we will patch 
up the transient response, but we wouldn't want it to 
actually compete with the kilobuck stuff.
