[Laser] led txr

[Tim Toast]

Hi all

I just wanted to remind anyone who doesn't have a website, you 
can post images, videos, mp3 and other files on mediafire.com or 
other free file hosts. http://www.mediafire.com/

Youtube is also a good place - if you have a video editor you can 
post sound files or still images too.

I have a page set aside for receiver cicuits on my website but i've
been meaning to update it with more stuff. If you want, send it to 
me and i'll post them there: 
http://www.aladal.net/toast/detector.html

(transverters and other circuits too)
