To paraphrase that old proverb, "The biggest enemy of really, really good is
perfection" <G>  Amazing how many things I have put together quickly, just
to get a feel for something "new", and wind up just using it for years.  I
guess that is one of the downsides of not having a type A personality ;-)
Never set any records for anything, but sure have had fun playing with this
electronics stuff over the last 40 years.
