True, I can see that point, although the examples of using binary powers 
etc was a little above my head, most of the programming I have to do is 
alot more simpler, condition reactions to control and simple item 
counting, but it sounds good and I would like to see a worked example.

thats the but, you designed and built a prototype to eventually sell, go 
for it, would not want to stop you etc, but the original post was for a 
group of lie minded individuals to get together and build something 
together at cheap cost and be a learning process, which just copying a 
design isnt.

The journey can be as enjoyable as the destination, if this was not the
