Funny that...
One of my good buddies is currently in John's 4175 "Embedded Microcontrollers"
class.  Since my buddy is hard up for a final project, he came to me
for inspiration.
He's now designing (w/my help) a basic 8-in midi knob device (mainly since
I've been needing one, and heck this is free & guaranteed construction!).

John Peatman is the reason I am at all confident in my abilities.  Him
and Drs. Leach
and Yezzi.  3 prime reasons I'm ridiculously proud of my degree.
