1. TECHNOLOGY
In essence, what is this thing you call "Sane Computer"?
Answer: Sane Computer[tm] is the first computer which is really, totally, absolutely U-S-E-R O-R-I-E-N-T-E-D. The target is the User – YOU – not money in our pocket.
Above and before all technicalities and spec sheets, SC is designed and delivered in such a way that will enable a human being to fully integrate her (his) ideas and her work with a computer – and stay sane and calm at the end of the day. In this fashion alone, SC is far more efficient, cheaper and FASTER than any other computer. It saves you from frustration, lost data and lost time.
What we call "Sane Computer" is a new concept. It's an entirely new type of computer. By its very nature, architecture and user interface, it is clean of "aberrations" (departures from straight logic or sanity) in the form of software bugs, virus vulnerability, erroneous answers to legitimate user questions, operational glitches, communication cuts, incomprehensible messages to the user, etc.
The sanity of SCs (or the character and quality of being "bugless", if you prefer this word) is based on:
Absolutely correct and stable logic rules as the building blocks of their architecture (no, NOT the logics they taught you in school - those don't work - but new ones), and
Correct and comprehensive user training.
To satisfy these tough (some say next to impossible) architectural requirements of building a SANE Computer in a kicked-in-the-head industry, a special logic and design algorithm* has been developed (and legally documented) by Ozzie Freedom in 1999. This algorithm is today titled Ozzie's Sane Computer AlgoRithm or OSCAR.
In the future the OSCAR files will, under some restrictions, be open to the public; but for now, until our lawyers have finished establishing their full legal status, these files are strictly confidential. However, if you're interested in a cut-down version you can obtain it from the organization by signing the non-disclosure agreement. Then, we will email you the files and we'll also be willing to answer any in-depth questions you may still have.

Is SC faster than PC?
ANSWER 1: It's not about speed at all. It's about the way the machine is built and about the way it interacts with its User. Got that? When built with very fast electronics, it will surely be very FAST. Of course they will. But Sane Computers are not about speed; they are about sanity.
Also let's not forget what brings a "super-fast" PC down to a snail-paced pain-in-the-butt: it's the errors and losses and bugs and viruses and hacking and... Woooof, the list is too long... it's those things that make your new PC s-l-o-o-o-w and frustrating and (from the viewpoint of your boss) a very costly machine. Pull out those thorns and you've got yourself a FAST and cheap-to-maintain machine. With the same electronics used today, only differently organized.
ANSWER 2: Yes, SC by default IS faster than the regular PC. With its built-in voice recognition technology, foot pedal and other devices which are an integral part of he SC architecture, this machine is much faster to operate. It listens to you faster. Now about the second half, the one in which the machine has to do whatever command or typing it has "listened" to--now here, too, this machine is much faster. Because it does not go in near-endless loops of beating around the bush, like a PC does.
I’ll demonstrate it to you: you know your machine can perform billions of actions per second, don’t you? They told you so in the shop, when you asked for the machine’s speed. The "Giga-Hertz" thingy. The CPU of your machine runs a "Giga" (a billion) or two of computing cycles, every second of day and night, non stop. Billions of actions per second! Imagine these numbers for a minute--they are IMMENSE.
Now why is it, then, that you can give a command, let’s say "open file" or "start typing a letter", etc, and you wait ten seconds for the machine to do... to do what?? Let’s not go into much technicalities here.
Let’s just talk numbers. The heart of your machine, the CPU, has gone through almost 40,000,000,000 cycles by the time it has actually gotten to DO what you told it to do. Yes, there’s also disk slowness and other factors involved, but I can assure you that a few billions of actions were performed by this poor machine before it got close to, maybe, answering your command correctly. That is, if it didn’t get stuck or confused in the middle of this jungle of actions and cross-actions and side-actions and who knows what else.
You see, they sold you a very slow machine as a super-fast one. And you were sitting there puzzled, wondering why it’s acting weird. Weren’t you? I know ‘cause I’m like you puzzled by my XP-pro multi-gigahertz machine. What does an SC, in contrast, do when you tell it to do something, it obeys. Pronto. No waiting time. No extra actions. It’s like flipping the light switch. Therefore, many actions that used to take 5-10 seconds or more on a 1-2 gigahertz PC, will take a tiny split second on an SC, or in other words hundreds of times faster. With the same electronics, not with some secret alien super-tech. Simple off-the-shelf good old electronics...sanely arranged!
Now throw into the soup those moments where the PC gets so confused that it gets stuck, destroys or loses important info, or wastes your time in configurations and other computer-scientist jobs. Now compare again. SC becomes thousands of time faster. So the scale of comparison depends on what you’re looking at, and goes from a slight advantage of the SC--to a gigantic thousand-fold advantage over the existing PC. Sorry Wintel, we couldn’t help but beat you.
ANSWER 3: Now on top of it all, SC is being developed almost from scratch (this is discussed in more details in Basics). Therefore the newest, most exciting technologies such as nano-tech and optics may be introduced as long as they align with the principles of SC and don't have basic bugs inherited within them. These technologies will put SC light-years ahead in terms of speed.
But then again, it's NOT about speed. SC is about sanity. Period.

What CPU are you using?
How fast is it?
What are the technical specs?
Answer: Sane Computers is designed around an architecture which is significantly different [that’s an understatement] than what you currently have on your desk in a PC or Mac. This architecture does not use the regular CPU (Central Processing Unit) that everybody's taught to look for and admire (or despise...) but instead it has a set of electronic components that are rigged to do a better and faster job.
Technical specs? These are under-development details which will be final and published with the conclusion of each product's beta stage.

Is this new technology better than existing computers? How so? And why should I want it?
Answer: The new technology is far better than anything known to Man so far. It's better in the regards of better interaction with a human being, since it's based on principles of data processing NOT known to the builders of these antiques. Have you noticed that every single year the industry follows the same pattern: they don't change the basics, they don't solve last year's BASIC bugs such as a machine that takes forever to boot, or a machine that hangs up on you in the middle of a critical process; but instead what they concentrate on is the "speed" and some extra bells and whistles.
This is the sad (did I hear you say 'ugly'?) but true face of the industry.
SC soars high above by making it easy on You to operate a computer and produce whatever you're trying to accomplish with it. It's a new approach that will leave you at the end of the day with more products and zero frustration. Does that sound different? It is.
Imagine a machine with instant boot and instant shutdown, among many other time savers. Imagine your friends calling or emailing to warn you about the latest virus attack, and you laugh because the rain can’t get you wet. Imagine a system that’s as easy to configure as a toy
An important facet: An SC, to a significant degree, is built upon Users' requests, remarks and specific inputs. YOUR input is just as important as anybody else's. So why don't you invest 10 minutes of your time to fill out our Users Survey. This way, as more and more users add their inputs, the new product will be closer to what a real person needs and want. Does this answer your question "Why should I want it?" I sure hope it does. Invest your own input by clicking here.

Is SC similar in its functions to PC or to Mac? What are the major differences?
Answer: SC is quite different, as you will see in a sec. Let's take, just for example now, the issue of EASY remote control function, built into the PC. It's good when you want to control it from afar. Its bad, stinking darn BAD, when a hacker, a virus-maker, a spy or a terrorist sends his filthy hands into your system. Then what? Then you're OUT of control, maybe also out of some money, possibly left with a destroyed computer - and surely out of your (peace of) mind. then you're not so happy about the fabulous "control" function they sold you as the latest tech.
In contrast, SC will not have such a function (not as you know it today, that is) because it opens the door for great trouble. I mean, you're trained to handle small trouble, sometimes it's as simple as clicking "undo". But BIG trouble goes out of hand, you know what I mean? SC eliminates trouble by NOT incorporating trouble in the first place. With an SC, therefore, the user has on his hands less bells and whistles – but greater security, greater stability and some real safety for his money and data. [don’t worry about functionality, it’s all there but without the trouble].
Are you starting to realize the differences here? SC pays a small price to gain big advantages. The above was only a tiny example. The more you read about it, the more outstanding, revolutionary differences you will discover in Sane Computers. If you hate change, you'll despise it. If you accept or even expect some refreshing wind, you'll love it to death.

Do Sane Computers imitate the functions of the brain?
Answer: No! To build an imitation of the brain would be to build a robot. We're not building robots. We're building a machine that would help you, a living human being, process great quantities of data fast and will do so without bugs and stops, rather than a machine that will do it all for you but in a most sloppy manner. (Need examples of "sloppy manner"? Just look around you in every office in town...)
back to top
Is your technology really new?
Answer: It's so new and so mind-boggling, that it's hard to convince computer "experts" that the possibility even exists. In fact, the more experienced "experts" who have been introduced to the basics of Sane Computers – tried their damnest to convince us that it cannot work at all...
back to top
Do you have a PDA version?
Answer: Sane Computer is still in its diapers, just crawling on the floor. We're still in the basics. When the time comes to design the final consumer products, a PDA version is relatively a small task. The idea is good, so we're certainly looking forward to having our very own SC-Based PDA, or even better SC Personal Communicator, which is an SC-based PDA with all useful personal technologies (cellphone, etc) thrown together. This will not happen before mid 2004, though. Patience please.
back to top
Do you have a Tablet Computer?
Answer: Same as above. The idea is good, we're looking forward a version of our own, bases on fully-grown-up SC technology.
back to top
Are you using Pen interface? What about Blue Tooth[tm], WiFi, etc.?
Answer: Now this has more to it than just throwing a buzz word such as "PDA". These things have to do with protocols (standards for dealing with data transfer). While some of these protocols are basically good, some others have serious bugs in them. Each such technology or protocol will have to go under a microscope before we adopt them, even as an option.
What we do with SC tech is more than satisfying immediate hunger for bells and whistles. And you know what I think of bells and whistles, especially when they are there to impress newbies and tech addicts. We're thinking LONG-TERM SURVIVAL CONCEPTS.
Survival of what? Survival of a product (a product which gets old in 3 months is a stink, don't you agree?). Survival of lives and survival of projects which are dependent on computers. And such survival(s) can be long term only if we examine the long-run value of any ingredient--before we throw it in. From a viewpoint of a developer, this is an engineering Heaven, where you don't have to take anything for granted.
Let me explain. It goes like this: the developer says: "Battery such-and-such? Good idea. Throw it in." And then he says: "Red Tooth? Nah, has serious communication bugs, throw it out the door before we get in trouble." You see how it goes? We start from scratch and hand-pick technologies with long-term survival in mind. It's easy. Did I hear myself saying 'easy'? Yeh right, easy, but only if you have concrete-and-steel self-discipline to stand the temptation of *exciting* (but short lived) bells and whistles.
back to top
Are you using nano-technology?
Answer: We will. But we start with affordable, everyday-life electronics. Like the one you have in your TV or DVD. This everyday technology is excellent and, if correctly engineered, can even be bug-free and very usable. Nano-tech is there for special uses, but not necessary for most computer uses. So we'll keep it for last.
Your peace of mind and the security of your data is far more important than reducing the size of the box by 51.11%. What would you do if next year's store shelves offer you a small box with big problems, or last-year sizes with sparkling clean behavior? What would you choose? I believe you would choose the one that represents zero headaches.

What programming language(s) are suitable for SC?
Answer: None. Sorry, programmers. Your abilities to analyze and organize data are still highly valuable, but old school languages are not a thing of the future. There will be a lot of demand for today's programming style in the market for years. Old computers are not going to vanish tomorrow. But they will slowly shrink. Whoever wishes to work with us will have to train with a whole new logic.

Where can I purchase a product and how much does it cost?
Answer: SC products are not yet ready to market at the time of this writing. But we'll notify the market about it when it's ready. If you want to be the first one to know, sign up to our newsletter.

Who are the technological competitors?
Answer: What do you mean competitors? Do you see anybody producing sane computers of any feel, color or smell?? Do you hear anybody even promising that they will, someday, somehow, begin to move their fatty asses in this direction? We don't have competitors. If we had any, maybe I wouldn't have had to establish SCO. Instead, I could have followed my love of cooking and become a French Chef or something... But finding this field totally empty and with me having discovered a working solution, I had to fill up the void.

How do you solve security problems? How do you handle cyber-terrorism?
Answer: I don't want to go into confidential materials here so I'll simplify the answer and let you taste a bite. Security problems are not caused by intruders. They are caused by security holes through which intruders are allowed to come in. More accurately, since security holes don't create themselves, the responsibility is in the hands of those who left the holes there. Sometimes from lack of knowledge. Sometimes from pure neglect and hurrying too much.
Sometimes they left holes because the government secret service(s) told them to leave holes, so they could snoop into your system to check if you're not threatening anybody up there. In any case, once security holes are everywhere, international criminals and terrorists can threaten our banks and sensitive systems--even the Pentagon systems--because they have an opening.
So how do we eliminate these threats? By building machines that, from square one, do not have security holes. I'll give you an example that might shock you: Let's say you are up against the threat of a virus type that may erase your hard drive. You think "lets attack the virus". Why don't you think "let's attack the hard drive"? You think I'm nuts? I know what you mean. This is radical.
But the point I'm trying to put across is: by inverting the logic you can find solutions that would not be found in the other direction even if you look a million years. You still with me? Things like today's typical operating system are not "a system with security holes", but are rather "a net of security holes--with some system in between". By inverse logic and some common sense, I have developed a whole set of very radical solutions.
If I told you one or two, you would say "It cannot be done". But I'll let you in on a secret: these solutions are entwined together so smoothly, that as a complete set of otherwise weird tricks they establish a very solid solution for today's security problems and for the Global War On Terrorism (GWOT).

How can you possibly make SC absolutely immune to viruses?
Answer: I'll give you a hint: let's say you found a way to do without the so-called "operating system", which is greatly vulnerable to viruses. What if you could do with the computer itself, the bare bones, which is not likely to go up in smoke due to a virus attack. Example: you cannot burn the keyboard, for instance, by telling the computer (via email or diskette) "please destruct the keyboard". It's just not possible.
So what then? You will have in your hands a machine that can be destroyed only with a sledge hammer, face to face. Virus writers don't do that. They are cowards who hide in their mouse hole. Now how is that possible, to operate without an operating system? Well, that's what we are here for. Bill Gates and his chaps will hate this one, wouldn't you say?
back to top
What's SC compatibility to other products on the market?
Answer: This is a hard one. Some compatibility can be achieved with the existing products in the market today. Some functions, though, will have to be non-compatible. That's because SC is setting new standards. The idea is that in the near future many of today's standards will die or diminish due to their obvious problems (low security, for instance), and SC will still be there as the leading alternative.
In the long term, SCs will rule the day. So, in both the short-term and long-term scenarios, some compromise of compatibility--both hardware and software--has to be made for the longevity of this new tech. And just between us, don't tell anybody, look at the poor inter-compatibility that already ensues all through the industry: PC vs. Mac, Linus vs. Windows, and on and on... We just have no choice other than to stand tall and set new standards.

What is the user interface?
Answer: The SC Man-Machine Interface (MMI) is somewhat similar to your current window-based interface. But that's just on the face of it. Inside you find many more functions never thought of before. Not that we heard of, anyhow. Some of these functions, for instance, relate to the administration of any size business, or the organization of activities in a perfectly intuitive way. These are must-have tools that are not a program but a built-in function of SC, something it will not function without.
Additionally, there are special-function buttons on the screen border, what they would call in the army "On Screen Buttons" (OSB), and other interface devices that you don't find in the shop today. And there's much more, a long list of special MMI features absolutely unique to SC, things nobody dares talking about even when they know it exists. All in all, SC is designed to interface with a human being much better than anything known before.

Has Sane Computing been tested in real life?
Answer: Not yet. But the basics are based on a set of logic rules which have been tested and proven for more than twenty years. Now it's only a matter of a correct application on that basis. The basis is there, it's extremely intuitive to people of all cultures, and can produce just the effect we need. During 2004 and 2004 we are going to conduct a very unique real-life experiment: the SC Online Simulator, abbreviated SCOS.
The basis for the simulator is all the data that we are collecting right now through your surveys and letters (big thank-you to all who are sending them in) on top of what we already know about SC architecture. SCOS will be available online to all members, so by joining in you'll be able to test it yourself and provide us with precious inputs about your experience with it. Nobody we know is doing this. Instead, the order of the day is to release a product with up to 63,000 known bugs--and charge you an arm and a leg before they fully debug the product.
In actual fact they never fully debug the product, even after years and years when they are filthy rich and have enough time and cash to do all the debugging in the world. We refuse to do that. We won't be able to look our face in the mirror with such a crying shame. SC development starts from real-life knowledge, will continue through real-life testing and will land in the market only when it is ready for some real-life data chewing.

Can I install my existing PC/Mac/Linux software on an SC?
Answer: I hope you’re not in love with your old software because the answer is No. Doing so will turn the SC right back into the same crazy old machine.

Where can I read more about this technology?
Answer: We try to give all we can on this website. Read the Basics page, this entire FAQ and the Articles section, and you will get a fairly good idea about it. If you still have questions, don't hesitate to ask. As for partners who wish to participate in developing SC products, please click here to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement and get the confidential materials as needed.

3. STRATEGY
Have you gone bananas? If the idea of Sane Computers is so hot, why don't you capitalize on it and become filthy rich like Bill Gates?
Answer: Because I don't want to become filthy rich like Bill Gates, that's why. Personally, I don't want to. I want to serve the entire Human Race with a valuable product urgently needed. Organizationally, I strongly believe in the same principle of service before profit. Service means giving your client WHAT HE NEEDS AND WANTS -- not what you want to sell. Not that which will fatten your pockets and your belly. And this, Bill Gates' admirers, is the fastest way to riches, faster than whatever they taught you in that old-thought business school.

What’s this SC Revolution I hear you talking about? Hasn’t the PC Revolution been enough? And how will you position just another invention in today’s saturated market?
Answer: First of all, Sane Computers are not "just another invention". In fact, I doubt if it’s an invention at all... I think of it more as a movement. Yes, it’s more of a movement than a technology. And we are the pioneers of a great movement that will shake the rafters of the hi-tech industry and will create a lasting effect for a whole millennium. Sounds too grand? Look again.
Now for the positioning part of your question: the PC Revolution is over, buddy. Industry leaders are now talking about "The Second PC Revolution", yet they know they are B.S.ing us with empty words. People at large despise their PC’s stupidity and ridiculousness. Consumers simply don’t have much of a choice, usually, especially in companies of any size. OUR TIME has come, because the market is not saturated--but on the contrary it is THIRSTY for a new breeze. And we at Sane Computers Organization consider ourselves very lucky because the 1980’s computer revolution has left us with a great field to work in:
(1) the masses of individuals and businesses are very aware now of computers and the possibilities they introduce, and
(2) users today are ALSO very aware of the troubles and headaches associated with poorly designed products.
Therefore we have a better chance now to present the world with a GOOD solution, more than we had 20 years ago! Or ever. This is a perfect time for Sane Computers. The world is waiting. The leader of this industry knows it just as well as we do. But he also knows that he doesn’t have a real breakthrough at hand. Therefore, he's waiting for a serious rival to show up out of nowhere. Beware, boy! We's coming to get ya!

Have you submitted a Patent yet?
Answer: Computer guru Don Lancaster says: "It is ludicrously absurd to try and patent a million dollar idea." Read his entire Patent Avoidance Library.
NOTE: I don’t do this blindly just because a guru says so. It’s my own self-made standpoint, made many years ago according to my own observations and experience with patents. My standpoint: What will protect our tech from being eaten up by lions and prey birds alike is this -- it’s in the SPEED. Not the secrecy about it or government protection. The secret power weapon (and don’t tell anybody) is HIGH SPEED FORWARD.

Others *like you* have tried but turned dot-bombs; what makes you think you'll do better?
Answer: Because I have found a surefire combination of logic and strategy which when--and only when--they're smoothly entwined together, can lead to very real and very possible Sane Computers in the hands of Mankind. I'm not talking about the ideas and strategies you find on the supermarket shelf. I'm talking about ideas and strategies not at all known to Bill Gates and his Wintel colleagues. I have solid proof that they don't.

Why don't you team up with the big players? Why don't you sell your work to Bill Gates or somebody like that?
Answer: We have no back-off from teaming up with giants. In fact, we're currently looking for big-league players to JV with. But the terms are different than usual. You see, in the "normal" business world today, only money talks. No honor, morals or self respect--or any other principle other than cash.
Businessmen who were after the quick buck from day one will gladly sell their mother for a couple of fat boxes filled up with very green cash. They'll even throw in their grandmother, too, as "the bonus of the day".
We're different. We are a Non-Profit Organization, not for escaping taxes, but because we're not here for the quick buck. So--and don't let anybody forget that or tell you that there are variations hidden under the table--so if Bill Gates shows up tomorrow morning with seven truckloads of very sexy cash, we'll treat him like a king. We'll even treat him to coffee.
But we won't sell Sane Computer. It don't belong to us, can't you see? It’s protected under our wings but it belongs to Mankind. And it's not for sale. Period. And another period just to make sure. Got that, Billy?
What we do want is to JV with partners, big and small, who understand that the immediate AND long-term benefits of the User are far more important to business than fast cash. The rest is easy; we can work out an agreement with almost anybody who understands that and wants to share the profit potential inherited in Sane Computer technology. Know anybody? Just tell them to contact headquarters with 2 words: "JV Inquiry". We'll take it from there. Thanks.

Will you open the code like Linux?
Answer: Sane Computers do not work like that. Opening the "code" or whatever else comprises the guts of the machine, will invite mutations which will in many cases depart from sanity. It will not be a Sane Computer any more. Therefore, anybody who wants to further develop our work is invited to do so – within the group and under the same development rules that we firmly follow. The work can even be performed remotely, but under supervision and written agreements with Sane Computers Organization. Contact for details.

Who are the target public for an SC computer or product?
Answer: You are.

Who can use SC technology? Do I need a license to use it or program it?
Answer: SC technology belongs to Mankind. It is stated more than once in this document. But there are factors which limit the scope of users by at least 20%. First of all, we do not want to serve criminals. We will not supply computer technology to individuals or organizations who actively destroy or threaten our society.
Furthermore, far beyond the moral question--think about it--how about a powerful machine (computer) that has practically no weak points, in the filthy hands of an international murderer like Saddam or Bin Laden? Sane computers Organization is, beyond other purposes, trying to help the international effort to abolish cyber terrorism (as part of GWOT: Global War On Terrorism) and cyber criminality, so why would we even open the door to such a possibility, of an SC falling into the wrong hands.
Instead, we'll make sure through licensing that every user truly deserves his prize of owning an SC and getting our knowledge and training. Outside the scope of these limitations, SC is for every able human being. In fact, it's simplicity (on the outside) broadens the user base of computers to the billions out there, who are today incapable of operating a PC. Why can't they? Simply because they are not sophisticated enough to be freaking COMPUTER SCIENTISTS, which is (no joke) a requirement to own and operate a PC today...

Who can participate in the development?
Answer: Anyone who is willing. A wise man said: "The wrong thing to do is nothing". Luckily, ANYBODY can do something about it. Let's say you are reading this page on a computer, but you think you don't know nothing about computers. But that's not true! You do know something about it, even if you loathe computers.
You can at the very least contribute a few minutes to tell us what's bothering you about computers. That's very valuable information for us and we'll know what to do with it. The least you can do is speak your mind and voice your opinion: (1) fill out the survey, and (2) sign our latest petition(s). Now on top of that, I'm sure you can help with more. There's people you know, there are skills you posses that might be very useful and very needed by a young a dynamic organization like ours. Find out here how you can help from outside--or even work in our ranks.

How can I become a consultant?
Answer: This will require you to train yourself with both our cutting-edge computer tech and the innovative administration tech implemented in SC. These will normally take a few months of training and practicing. But it's quite worth it since this new profession, SC Consultant, is not only the latest and most prestigious profession in the hi-tech industry, but also a very promising one for the future.
Soon enough there will be more demand than you can easily supply. If you join in 5 years from now, it will still be a lucrative and attractive career. But join now and in 5 years when demand will skyrocket beyond belief, you'll be a seasoned pro with the best positions and opportunities, including being able to manage and/or train others.

How can I become an SC programmer?
Answer: That's quite easy. In fact, it's much easier than programming a PC, Mac or mainframe. And it does NOT include the all-too-common frustrations and headaches intimately connected with normal programming.
But if you're still thinking in terms of today's programming routines, be warned that SC "programming" is very different; it's principles and products are so different that I wouldn't call it programming. It's more like fine tuning an already programmed machine. Yet, it requires a lot of skill and insight, so if you are a person of challenge or a programmer who's willing to learn some totally new tricks, you're very welcome to learn it and work with us.

Can I get rich with your activity?
Answer: Of course. There is more than one way to do so. You can become a fundraiser for the Organization and earn fat commissions. You can participate as an engineer, vendor or consultant, or you can participate as an administrator or a lawyer. We aim at being a 20-million members organization (to begin with). And there are a whole lot of positions needed. We are working on a detailed compensation plan for members and we'll publish it in our Newsletter.

I am NOT an expert or an IT professional. I'm not even a techie... Can I join the organization? Can I help with something?
Answer: All the more! We need people like you to join as members and serve us as the voice of the non-techie. You see, we the "techies" and engineers developing the SC, may overlook things because they look so obvious to us. We may be expecting, for example, that the common user should be skilled enough to deal with a certain function. But maybe it's too much for YOU, or maybe it needs further simplification or clarification.
You, the non-expert, the non-techie, can tell us what we've been missing! You can also help with publicity (as simple as telling your friends and family about the activity, its principles and its future) or with any other skills and connections you have.

I have a computer company/enterprise of my own, how can we participate as a group?
Answer: Check the Jobs page to see what's available. You'll find opportunities for companies and businesses. Although we as an organization are Non-Profit in nature, you can be a service provider and get fully paid for your contribution. All payments are subject to approval by the National Heritage Foundation, but in principle they'll be more than happy that we can work together if it forwards the aims of the Organization.
