I don't mind at all, for any postings I make.  A link to my homepage is 
appreciated but not required.

BTW, once you get the toaster oven and whatnot going, you start wishing 
you had a pick & place machine.  That is a whole nuther adventure, but 
for the amusement of PIClist people, I bought one of these:

http://www.bidservice.com/Browses/DHTML_PHOTOS.ASP?ProductID=13148&Mfg=MRSI&Mdl=501&InvNum=30063

Was $200K new in 1991, and I believe it can pick&place 0201 sized parts. 
  DOS software originally on an AT 286 rackmount.  That is pretty good 
vision recognition folks, 3 cameras, on a 16mhz? 286.

Got it a year ago off ebay for approx a penny on the dollar of its 
original price, and had it shipped from ohio to california, where it 
sits in my shop waiting to be essentially completely reprogrammed with 
code that I'd largely have to write.

If anyone in the bay area would like to check it out / do that 
reprogramming work (um...for free or nearly so), let me know.  :)  You 
get it workable smoothly from Eagle pick&place data, and you can use it 
whenever you'd like, forever.

Ever ambitious to the border of unreasonable,
J
