Bite your tongue! He learned something because he was cheap, err frugal.
What would he have learned if he went out and bought one? How to use a
credit card? Sure he placed friends and family at risk of blindness and
carcinoma but that's a small price to pay. (HUMOR) :) :) :)

If I decide to build an eraser out of available parts, that's my choice
(and more importantly, an expression of my personal style and work
ethic). Maybe I have more time than money (or brains...).

or whatever?

ME! I would have sold close friends into white slavery for a unit that
does 50 EPROMs at once when I bought 300 2532s a few years back. All I
had was a dinky little unit that does a pair every 30 mins. Do the
math...<cringe>

p.s. Forgive my newbieness but how do I tell the listprocessor to send me
a copy of postings to the list? I remember it being mentioned a while
back but the message leaked out of the bit bucket.
