Very interesting indeed. I am glad people like this exist. Without him and W1z and others like them we would all stuck running stock speeds.

This is important, cuz is part of a new history.
Technology evolution path are always uncertain, and the side boosters like W1z and Unwinder, make the developers (square mindeds) to rethough their products, cuz a second view can make them take another way.

We sould interveiw more ppl this is awsome i mean we should like interveiw all osrts ppl on the forum that do stuff that would be neat like say if damulta was creating something that would be cool to know the community like that but its not like we as a community make things but if we did it would be cool to hear experiances but ya most deff should make interveiws a normal thing.

I am excited about this new aspect of TPU. Hopefully, continued interviews along with the recent published usage statistics will make more key members of the industry willing to submit to interview. I feel interviews like this are good for TPU, and the industry as a whole.

I couldn't agree more.
I would really like to see more interviews on TPU.
I hope that this is the start of a good thing.

One more thing, I would like to see an interview with W1z.

Great interview. Always wanted to know how Alex gained his knowledge. Respect!
Both Unwinder and W1zzard are geniuses.

If only we could have a pic?
