Chuckle a few times here, Seb. BTDT, enough times I should get smart, but I guess that is not in the cards anymore at my age. Tomorrow I can say "I've been 39 and holding for 39 years!". I said that to the counter girl at our local Toyota dealer yesterday & her instant response what that she had been "28 for _quite_ a while." Looked like a well preserved and well armed 45 to me, but... I kept my mouth shut, & changed the subject, seemed like the best thing to do. :) > >> What's your goal? > > > > https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/fCc5K4YxILZbGhKVsdPCn9MTjNZETYmy > > PJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink > > > > (A component to stream HAL values to a HAL pin, in text.
