Hey, this is starting to sound like that "sour grapes" thread. ;-)

Yep; Sean Meldrum and I are working on creating a G-tech type thing
ourselves. It should be a bit cheaper than the G-tech and will hopefully
be even more accurate and have more features. Sean's been working through
the math and has got most of the formulas locked in; just a few snags to
work though. I've been collecting parts to build one; I've got to dust off
my breadboards and get to work pretty soon. I'm not 100% sure wether its
possible or not, but if we pull it off, any DML'er who is handy with a
soldering iron will be able to build their own...

Yep, I know what you mean! And its kind of neat to be able to
"put your money where your mouth is". :-) Any other DML'ers in western
NY? If so, you should come on down to NYIRP and join the fun!
I checked today and my hood was in primer, so we'll see what's what
tomorrow. Should have it by Wed. for sure, unless something goes wrong.
