You'll only spend it on BBDs, you poor bastard!

(Sorry, too good to be kept out!)

But now, seriously...

I looked briefly at it. OK, so you run three parallel peak detectors, reset
them round-robin and average the output of them all. Interesting idea.

The question then arises if one can do even better?
Is there more neat tricks we can play out there in the land of non-linear CV
processing? I will let that simmer in the back of my head for a while... good
to get another problem to think about ;O)

Keep up the good work Harry!

Cheers,
Magnus
