Cool system, not getting up is a known problem :-). I used to have a mechanical alarm clock (many years back) that I had put on top of a 2 meter high closet, just to ensure I had to get out of bed to stop it ringing. It made quite a bit of vibrations when ringing, and one day the vibs send it over

I've definitely done that, the volkswagon headlights work best, the 6v kind. Or sometimes you can find a really big rheostat. These kinds of things are great for when you want to drain a battery or put a lot of load on a circuit. -Adam On 2/14/2012 11:48 AM, Imbanon wrote: The good news is t
