We know Forrest Mims personally. He is an unconventional genius and iconoclast. He is extremely principled and truthful to a fault. You can trust this account implicitly. It will be humorous to see how the insane professor and the UT regents try to defend the indefensible once again.

I wish I knew him personally. He craps me up.

There was an issue of Radio & Electronics that had an article on how to bug people using a laser.

He wrote in to say how irresponsible R & E was to print the article. Then other people who were miffed responded to his response and then finally he wrote one of the funniest responses that I wish I could remember verbatim. The guy cracks me up. It has gotta be geek humor.

I had the priveledge of meeting Forrest Mims last year and correspond with him on occasion. He's a brilliant guy and, yes, principled.
