[GreenKeys] Re: Fwd: Quick Brown Fox question

[pdwills@voicenet.com]

I tried to fire up the Stroboscope last night to see what sort of "Fox"
message was hardcoded on the camwheel.  Unfortunately, the fox got lazy!
I'll try to trace out whatever went open tonight and post what I find.  (I
think I remember the message but I'd rather get it right.)

Don H, do any of your Stroboscopes work?
