Bob, Thanks so much, as soon as I saw the key sequence I knew where that was going!
If only more manufacturers had a sense of humor. We had a test-jig in our development lab that would go through a repeating sequence and spit out a text string for each step it completed; "It slices" *BEEP* "It dices" *BEEP* "It will cut a cow in half" "BEEP,BEEP* -ad infinitum After that ran for a couple of days straight our engineering manager made us move the jig to a room far far away from his office.
