So, what do you expect me and Wayne to do about it, as
we want and need this story to be on the air to
attract people's attention, because there are already
many web sites, including our own to popularize this
story of Wayne's invention (I mean only
microprocessor), etc. From the very beginning we both
were interested to AIR the story about "real inventor
of microprocessor". I TOLD YOU A NUMBER OF TIMES AND
ALSO WROTE IN MY PREVIOUS E-MAILS THAT WAYNE NEEDS
SOME HELP TO FINISH HIS OTHER INVENTIONS, THAT WAS THE
MAIN IDEA TO GO TO AIR. IN SHORT, I TRY TO UNDERSTAND
WHY YOU DIDN'T WANT TO DO IT, AND I CAN'T. PLEASE,
EXPLAIN ME WHAT YOU SUGGEST SHOULD BE DONE IN ORDER
"TO GO TO AIR" WITH THIS STORY, AND NOT TO CREATE
ANOTHER 1004-TH OR SO WEB SITE. I CAN WORK WITH YOU TO
COMPOSE THIS PROGRAM , TO CHOOSE PROPER PIECES, TO
MAKE IT ORGANIZED, ETC..
PLEASE, TRY TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE IN VERY
DIFFICULT CIRCUMSTANCES, THAT WE NEED SUPPORT,
UNDERSTANDING, AND NOT ONLY NUMEROUS CHECK OUTS OF HIS
STORY, AS ONE YOU WERE OBVIOUSLY INTERESTED TO HAVE. I
AM SORRY, IF MY E-MAIL IS SOMEHOW OFFENSIVE, BUT IT IS
THE NAKED TRUTH - WE CAN'T AFFORD TO SATISFY SIMPLY
SOMEONE'S CURIOSITY, AS THIS STORY WAS CHECKED OUT
MANY TIMES ALREADY, WE CAN'T ALSO AFFORD TO BE HOLD ON
BECAUSE OF SOMEONE'S TOO CAUTIOUS APPROACH. IN SHORT,
IF CURRENT PROBLEM IS ONLY CONNECTED WITH THE FACT
THAT YOU DON'T KNOW YOURSELF HOW TO MAKE THE
PRESENTATION FROM THE AVAILABLE MATERIAL, I WOULD BE
HAPPY TO WORK WITH YOU ON IT, BUT, IF YOU DON'T WANT,
BEING TOO CAUTIOUS TO AIR THIS MATERIAL BECAUSE IT
NEVER WAS ON THE AIR BEFORE, IT WOULD BE NOBLE AND
HONEST TO SAY IT UP FRONT DIRECTLY. I AM REALLY
DISAPPOINTED BY WHAT HAS HAPPENED, AND TRY TO
UNDERSTAND WHAT MADE YOU TO REVOKE YOUR INITIAL
INTENTION AND WORDS. ONCE MORE, IF IT ONLY CONNECTED
WITH TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES, IT WOULD BE EASY TO EDIT
THIS MATERIAL, TO MAKE MORE SHORT, SHARPLY AIMED, AND
MORE ORIENTED TO WIDE AUDIENCE, AS TECHNICAL DETAILS
ARE INTERESTING ONLY TO SPECIALISTS, BUT THE PRESENCE
OF MICROPROCESSORS ALMOST IN EVERY DEVICE OF CURRENT
DAYS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ROCKETS OF DEFENSE
INDUSTRY AND TO ALMOST EVERY MODERN DEVICE OF HEALTH
INDUSTRY, ETC..IS PERFECTLY KNOWN BY THE WIDEST
POSSIBLE AUDIENCE OF YOUR LISTENERS. SO, PLEASE, BE
HONEST, AND PERSISTENT, AND WORK WITH ME AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE TO PREPARE THIS PROGRAM FOR AIR TO JANUARY
19, AS  I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE YOUR AIR SHOW EVERY
WEEK ON MONDAY.
   SINCERELY,
   ANNA V. EPELBAUM-PICKETTE
