Commercial ads get posted from time to time that are totally objectionable
(like the occasional spam) but David's message was at least on-topic, and
his company may well come in handy for someone in the future. I've spoken
to him and what they do is very interesting: it's a commercial version of
what Bob Shannon did to interface an IDE drive to his HP 2116.

doing useful work. That's something that most people on this list cannot
