Or a piece of wire :0) HiHi

The point of my first email was in jest and went astray,
if you can use a piece of wire - use your bug.

Theoretically, hard to tell the difference if you do it
right. :0)

(just don't ask me to prove it)

Those who want to be purist about it need to only use the
wires and a crystal set.

 (joking don't flame me) ;0)

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
