Yes that is cool. Get him to autograph a copy.
BTW I also have the rotor control kits with RS232 connection.  Let me first
say that I am not any kind of electronic whiz.  OK now for the rest. I also
had problems with the serial connection and called the folks. They gave me
the number to the tech support person.  Called him he said that he could fix
it would be about $60.00 and he would have it back in about 2 weeks. Well
you know about the little floaty thing in the punch bowl.... Thats about how
well that went over with me... so I went back to the step by step
instructions and found one of the little electronic dowhicky things ( yes
that is a technical term I heard Nelson say it before) turned around.  Fixed
that and has been purring ever since..... would love to have a second one
for the other rotor control.....

Hey Nelson ........ how about a Big Mac?
