will be complete this weekend.

Cool, way to go!  Many people here are hobbyists, regardless of what kind of
static you may hear.  I would say that most of the "regulars" here are more
than willing to offer assistance to others.  I guess you missed the "How
much water is left in the tank" thread.  You really should have been here
last year for the "How do I stop someone from stealing my mowbot?"

Try not to let any negative aspects bother you too much.  I can count on one
hand the list "regulars" that are really vocal about the heinous hobbyists
and the incredible, undue burden that they put on the piclist and microchip.
;-)  Some people just don't play well with others.  ;-D  I too am a hobbyist
for now, but I'm working on a couple of things.  I would like to be an
engineer, but I don't have the required paper-work.  ;-)  Have fun, stick
around and don't be skeered of askin questions.
