From their PR: "The expansive eBook, written by LaMothe himself, covers everything from introductory electronic theory all the way up to computer architecture, as well as a complete coverage of each of the XGS ME's subsystems. Imagine learning everything about how a video game console is built and programmed from scratch: designing and printing circuit boards, generating TV signals, external device interfacing, and much more.". They have two posters, as well."

I wonder if the system covers:

1) Starting up a website,generating hype, and bilking investors out of cash.

2) "creating" a fake console out of a shoebox or dumb pc case

3) Slagging third party websites and suing them.

4) Delaying the whole process so that your scam becomes freaking obvious. Cmon, go offshore with the cash already.

If it does, I'm in!
