Hi, John:

Well, that is two of you (you and Olin) who are kind of down on the 
project.  :-(  Since I have a lot of respect for the opinions of you 
two, then most likely you are right and I am wasting my time.  But I'm 
going to give it a try, anyway.  It will not cost me any money (I have 
all the ingredients already) and I have lots of time.  And, of course, 
if I succeed, then fame and fortune will be assured!  (Well, perhaps 
not, but my grandson may possibly be impressed, anyway).

I figure that I can plan it (sketching out pin-to-pin) in an hour, and 
wire it up in a couple of hours.  So three hours out of my lifetime 
(which is admittedly getting shorter each day) is no big deal.

John
