Thanks, Rikard.  Since it's a rather expensive book, I like to know 
others' opinions.  I hate to spend that much money on a book that will 
only collect dust.

I like your use of the old CD Drive for a chassis, but you do need a 
nice looking panel to pretty things up.  :-)

Perhaps I'll add this book to my list of things to do with my tax refund.

Regards,

Joe
