I migrated the Smartsocket group to https://groups.io/g/smartsockets about a year ago. Please rejoin there, as Yahoo no longer hold any project files and that Yahoo group is defunct. If the files you are after were in the old group, then they should be accessible through the new one.

Your point being, Aiden? An invisible vintage *technology* which this forum has been showing glowing examples of, for how many years now? I had no idea I could not see anyone else's nixie clocks. It seems to me you are trying to say that you do something extraordinary,

I worked in a printed circuit factory at one time, as a silk-screen printer. At times I'd do other jobs, like cutting the blanks, using the presses, drilling boards, flow-soldering. My work bench was right next to an open cyanide tank used for gold plating edge connectors. A hideous woman with
