Re the affect of denying me hardware on my programming:
	I've been denyed hardware ever since starting  to work on the
cart, and it's mainly  that fact that  has kept  me hardware hacking,
trying to  put  something together  out  of  scraps. What  I've  been
bargaining  for in  the current  case  is something  that makes  such
hacking  unnecessary, namely a complete, working, transmitter. If you
saw fit to allocate a  modest amount of technician time to  the cart,
I'd even promise  to keep my hands off  hardware altogether, and work
diligently, and full time,  on the programs needed  to make the  cart
go.

Re the need for hardware:
	The  forty or  so  pictures on  Baumgart's  area are  already
starting to nauseate me, and they fill his allocation in spite of the
fact that  he has  the  largest disk  area at  the lab.  It's  pretty
obvious that  even at this stage  my programs are being  optimized to
work with  that set, at the expense of the wider variety of real road
scenes. A working  transmitter would provide  thousands of times  the
variety available now.
