Do not worry, you will die in the first wave.

Thanks! I figured Slashdot was long over due for this question to come up again.

The first project is a small GSM device. Another project involves FPGA devices for custom encryption algorithms and communication. Of course some quad-coptor and robotics fun after hours.

If I can justify it to my boss then I can get the budget for it, but perhaps not all in one lump sum. Of course justification is hard without specific project examples. The first project is a small GSM device. Another project on the board involves FPGA devices for custom encryption algorithms and communication. Sorry for being vague, I wanted to leave the question a little more open for fun, and for those with a more limited or greater budget. Thanks!

Love it!

At least another 90K for the first round, what else you got?

11' by 14' to start, but it can be expanded into the adjacent room of the same size.

1903 built commercial building, second floor, stained concrete floor, electrical wiring with proper grounds, windows, brick wall, glass wall, and sheet rock wall.

Haha, perhaps I am a poser, I am for sure a sucker for a good troll; but at least I am not an Anonymous Coward today.
In retrospect I certainly could have posed the question better.

I typed EE instead of Electrical Engineer, then changed it, that is why they ended up capital.

A valid accusation, I admit I am a bit rusty on hardware, but primarily I was trying to be concise with the question, not vague. I could have dumped my current shopping list of soldering irons to spectrum analyzers in the post but I did not want to scare anyone off with a TLDR question. My primary objective was to get more specific suggestions, models and distributors, but not limit responses to that either. I thought it would be fun to leave things a bit more open.

The company I work for is still fairly young and does contract work, we have a handful of electrical engineers on staff, myself included, who are itching to attract hardware projects and start some of our own. For a specific example, one project we are currently working on involves GSM radios. I do not want to limit the lab equipment to a specific hardware application so I was not more specific.

Any suggestions on a specific logic analyzer brand or model to use or avoid?

I am an Electrical Engineer who has been doing software development for a few years. The company I work for is looking to prototype some hardware for a project. I have put together my shopping list, but I am sure I am forgetting or missing something, especially in the furniture area. I have never really had to buy such equipment since it was always in place at school or the labs I worked in.

Interesting point. I did not think people would be interested in my life story so I kept my question as brief and to the point as possible.

So if I was a surgeon, I did not pay much attention to the brand of the hospital bed my patients were lying on and would be interested in what other surgeons have found they like now that I need to procure my own.

I made a rocket ship for the man! ellipse(200, 330, 30, 100); ellipse(185, 370, 30, 30); ellipse(215, 370, 30, 30);

Was the vibrating thing a dildo reference or a smartphone reference?

Or we could just make 5 louder...

Yeah I am no Apple fan, but it is hard to argue with their revenue numbers and branding success.
For better or worse the Apple of the past died. Is Jobs culpable for that death? Perhaps.

Jobs burned that money and had to go to external sources, Ross Perot, to fund NeXT...
Now would NeXT ever had gotten off the ground without Apple funding? Perhaps not...
But what funded the start of Apple? I have no doubt Jobs would have found a way, we can see that in his past.

No doubt the Jobs that returned gained from his experience at Apple and from being pushed out of Apple and so forth.
But this in fact support my argument that is what not Woz but Jobs and his growth that created Apple.

My understanding was that Jobs wanted to go one direction, the direction he took NeXT, and those who were then in control of the company he created wanted to go another.
I would argue that Jobs succeeded in taking NeXT there, although not without causing the same problems he left Apple with before getting it right.
If Apple had not interfered with Jobs then he would have taken Apple exactly where NeXT ended up, and possibly quicker because he would not have been starting over and had more capital and branding.

Perhaps not, but I believe Steve would have found the money, he always did. The Apple money was used up before NeXT took off.

Remove Jobs and there is no Apple in the past, Woz stays at HP.
Remove Woz and perhaps there would be no Apple and we would have had Pixar earlier or something else, who knows.
But we would know one Steve no matter what, and that is Jobs.

Ross Perot.
