    Back in the mid 90s my ex worked for a company named SAIC. She was a file clerk and dealt with microfiche. Her job was to access it to find information that was requested. When she found it she would print it out and send it to whoever had requested it. The department she worked in was responsible for inputting information onto a couple of mainframe computers. One was called a Vax and the other I can't remember its name. This was late 80s technology and before the internet had really taken off.

    Different parts of that information was requested by what they called users and twice a month those parts of info would be printed out and sent to the appropriate users. We are talking millions of pages that needed to be printed and that part was handled by two industrial printers. This was back in the day of tractor feed printers and these printers ran 24seven for most of the month printing miles of paper. The cost of running the equipment along with inputting, collating, printing and shipping all the reports was astronomical.

    My ex had given me a pretty good rundown on how everything was done from start to finish. During all this I had my own appliance repair business and purchased a custom built AT Pentium 2 home computer with a scanner and tractor feed printer. It wasn't quite state of the art but was pretty close. At the time I didn't know how to use a computer but eventually learned how to use it. Later on I saw a builtin CD writer on sale for home computers. It cost $750,00 and you had to use CD caddies along with your CDR media, but I figured I could use it to save my scanned material and such and archive them, so I bought one. It worked well for that but I then had the idea that if it worked for my limited uses why couldn't it work for SAIC? Why should they have to spend millions printing and mailing tons of paper when they could write all that information on a little disc that would only cost pennies to send compared to what it cost to do it the way they had been doing it?

    So here I had an idea that could save SAIC millions of dollars so I gave it to my ex and asked her to present it to the higher ups in the company. She poo pooed the idea. But I persisted and she relented. They recognized the value in my idea and because of that she was promoted from file clerk and was given a fat raise and put in charge of implementing my idea. She never mentioned that it was her husband's idea and I never asked her to. It did take a few years to fully put it into practice. I'm just guesstimating but I believe it saved them at least 100 million dollars. I say that because after the first year my ex said that it had saved the company 10 million dollars and the conversion to CDs was only 5% implemented. That first year was when all the cost of the implementation of it had been put into place so after that it was mostly where all the money was saved which leads me to believe it was at least a 100 million in savings. Boy would I love to have gotten a piece of that pie and rightly so.

    There was also likely a lot of spinoff money generated through outside companies that were also needed to be hired to write the software. It's possible my idea spurred on the making of billions of dollars from spinoff businesses because the software that was written could be used across the board for that and many other businesses that wanted to use Cd Rs and CD rewritables in their business. It wasn't just the software that was needed. Another problem was compatibility between CD writers and readers. Some readers wouldn't read material that was written by certain writers and vice versa. Basically what likely I spurred on was an industry of software writers and hardware manufacturing of cross compatible devices.

    I remember going to a computer, software and hardware show in Las Vegas about 5 years later that was full of spinoffs to the idea that I started through my ex wife and SAIC. Don't get me wrong. I don't claim to be a genius, but what I am gifted at is coming up with real practical ideas that solve or make things a lot easier and cheaper to do. Most of my ideas were just used for my own projects and that of close friends so this one was the only big one. My idea was simple and I can't fathom why the people at SAIC didn't think of it before me. These were people that were directly working in the technology field and manufactured hi tech weapons for the military among other things.

    The idea to write data to CD Rs had been out for years. While writing data to them was cheap and easy there were limitations to how you could access the data and took people who were above my pay grade to bring it to fruition, but my little idea was all it took and at the very least saved SAIC millions. Did I spur on all the other technological innovations that proceeded? I don't know for sure. It's kind of nice to think I did but sad at the same time that I didn't really benefit from it. My ex did because SAIC kept her trained and up to date with all the new technology that came down the road. She's now paid around $150,000 a year which puts her in the top 10% of wage earners because of my idea. Now all the information that used to be written on CD is kept on servers and can be accessed through the web and her job is to keep the servers of whatever company she works for running.

    She conveniently denies the idea to set up a CD writing scheme for her employer had anything to do with me, but that's a typical woman for you. Anyway I wish at the time there was a way for me to have benefited from my idea other than my wife pretty much being the only one that did. But at the time I figured I would be married until we grew old and died of old age. But stupidity and selfishness on her part changed all that. She was born again Christian, but even that doesn't stop a woman from ignoring God's word and doing what the world tells them to do.

    Anyway for the first 8 years since the divorce I've been living at poverty level. That was because of health reasons limiting my ability to work a normal job and because nobody wants to pay someone who has to sit and recline for a few minutes every couple of hours. I needed to recline to relieve the pressure on the nerves going through my hips. The last 2 years I've been living with cancer and on less than a poverty level income. I didn't see the cancer coming but I did see a low income in my future so I prepared for it and can live comfortably on far less income than most people. Again that was where my ability to set things up so that it is cheaper and easier to do. It also helps that I don't have a woman in my life that siphons off some of my resources while offering nothing in return. It would be nice to have a woman in my life that gives the same or more than I do but that would be like finding a needle in a haystack the size if Texas.

    Boy you spent some time on that story. Your ideal - lol. I heard just the opposite that you were trying to claim rights to this when in fact it was already in process for months and that you got the idea from the Company that she was working for. Wow you should be in politics! You didn’t know I was fucking her for a couple years while you were out fixing washing machines did ya? Ever wonder why she always wanted to go shopping, or those times she had to work overtime? Well as always there are two sides to every story and now you know.

    Your story falls apart since you've made it known that you're obsessed with penises and not women. Cry smilie emoji/emoticon smiley

    Are you trying to make a move on me? Your story is great - in your mind lol. If bragging makes you feel good I guess go ahead. I know better and so does she. Is that why she left you cause of your stories or just cause you couldn’t satisfy her. As I said she was a good f*ck for a couple of years.

    Do I detect some jealousy from you because I might of done something note worthy and all you have to offer is useless penile related sex post? It's not to late for you so think about this. You could try and offer something good to the world. After all there is more to life than perverted sex talk. Plus those who continue to feed into their sexual beast end up needing to find or create even more perverse things to keep it fed.

    I’m saying you think your Mr expert and in you mind you think you know everything. Has nothing to do with my mind. I’m suggesting that is why your ex is your ex.

    Well I'm saying since I never said I was an expert at everything and you claim to know what's in my mind you must think you're a mind reader.

    I'm just trying to give you friendly well informed information. Whether or not you want to accept it is of course your choice. But I suspect whether you care to admit it now or you discover it later you will find that I'm right.

    Do I think I'm ever wrong? Of course who isn't wrong on occasion? I've never stated I couldn't be wrong at times. It appears you're the one who thinks he's couldn't be wrong. I
