    Windows 7 RC Tester.  Working on it.  Your monitor says etchasketch on the side!

    If I fall who is there to pick me up now.  I stand alone but I stand as the gaurdian for whom I wish to protect.  The sound of my blade utters my name as you fall.  For I shall not move.  For those that forsake the very people are wosres

        I cut an outdoor extension cord, where it had become nicked, with a knife, (intending to splice) and forgot the other end was plugged in!  I very nearly became extremely fluent!   :o

        Squall, have you searched the 'net for any info on how to build your parts?

          Yeah, but without a schematic...which I don't know how to read...

          Tell us what you have...transisitors, resistors IC's, so we have some idea of a starting point.

                    Squall, You have a serious attitude problem, it seems to me. Where do you get off calling people stupid? I'll sure think twice before answering one of your questions in future.

                    It's a bit like Heading a thread "Any metalworking wizards* here?" and then saying "anyone know about doing a bolt up with a spanner?" and when someone says "I can do that" you ask, "please show me how to make a Ferrari out of some old tin cans and a couple of angle irons". And we're the dumb ones?  ::)

                    * On a side note, it ticks me off when people ask "Any [whatever] wizards who can tell me how to do my programming homework/earn my salary for me/whip up a batch file to save my @ss?" - why is it always a "wizard"?

                    OK rant over
