6 <br />This is something that would be nice that doesn’t exist. The ability to have an R&D group that was doing software 256 <br />but had to make some hardware on the side and contract out pieces and bring it together and assemble it is great. 257 <br />I also think in a lot of startups you see when you start out, the R & D would be very heavy. If it works, that 258 <br />percentage of the company gets less and less and you start manufacturing there to see if it’s going to work and it 259 <br />just grows. I like it from that point of view. Another reason I think this is really important is I am seeing some 260 <br />people I work with, the old days of R & D are going away and the tendency now is to have a lot less separation 261 <br />between R & D and engineering and production and you want all those people to get together working with each 262 <br />other. This makes a ton of sense. Finally, I moved a company I started to Durham because there were problems 263 <br />with some of the Orange County rules. Another group I got in with talked about bringing something into the County, 264 <br />and we didn’t because we didn’t have time for all that was involved. From all levels, I like this a lot. 265 <br /> 266 <br /> 267 AGENDA ITEM 4: ADJOURNMENT 268 <br /> 269 <br />Meeting was adjourned 270 <br />24
