Experience != Expertise.

In Gerald's case it IS expertise. He managed to:
1) Design dual CPU cards that include SCSI on
an extremely small board with 11 layers.
2) He managed to design the Pegasos, prove to
MAI that there are bugs they didn't even know about
and fix them, under MAI's name (the fix Eyetech used)
and Genesi's (April 1&2).
3) He is known to IBM's production managers by name.
Yes... He *IS* an expert.
