Hi Harry!

Jürgen got a point, but if we send it to the list when the list is back they
get at least to see what was written, as if they had a temporary block
subscription.

Nope.

Yeap!

Ehum!

Did you know that I am going down to France on Sunday for standardisation work
(ETSI)? I can write you the standard, maybe not push it through ETSI since the
deadline for contribution has passed and it is the wrong technical body anyway.

Stick-saw on the ASM-board someone??? ;O)

PS. I like the module idea as such. It might be a good idea, but it brings part
of the fun out of it, but you can get more productive so there is defintively
gain in the plan. Will we see a SDIY 2600???

Cheers,
Magnus
