True that noise..

Glad he's decided to put it back up, definitely.  A2Central.com even
has a news item about it.  Unfortunately, I got no answer when I tried
calling this evening..  Probably just temporarily down..

It'll be a little more work than that, as I will have to implement it
myself for legal reasons.  But I do have the complete specs and a few
good books on serial communications, programming and protocols.

The ML code sounds cool.  I hope to get into that a bit more.  I was
re-reading some of my old 6502 programming books a few months back,
and my boss told me today that he's got a few books (by Prosel or
something?) that are basically 6502 subroutine cookbooks.  That should
be interesting!

Well, actually, the relation goes up the line to his brother.. So I'm
not a direct decendant.  My father has done a lot of our geneology
history, even published a book on our family history last year.  Reads
more like an encyclopedia though.  I'm still learning about it.  I do
know that I'm related to the only child (girl, forget her name now)
that was born on the Mayflower en-route to the America's.  So I'm a
member of the Mayflower society.  Fun stuff to learn about!

Ditto!  It's coming along and it's gonna be a blast!
