Possibly goofy idea...

[Curtin, Steven D (Steven)]

I tried the circuits on that page and couldn't get them to work, at least on
a protoboard.   Maybe I'm too much of a digital guy :).   This is why an
experimenter's kit with a working circuit board of these things, with the
pads right on the board, would be a great thing (hint, hint).
