Thank you for your willingness to share!
I try to avoid annoying the resources here because I find the advice (or=20
silence) to be
very helpful. You are one of those resources and I hope you will choose=20
to not filter
me and my dumb questions out.

VG's life is just beginning to bud. I believe your life to be "mature=20
and Accomplished".
My life is well past the Mature level and might best be described as=20
"Over Ripe!" Humor intended.
I think it natural that both of us test your patience. From reading your=20
posts I know
you are clever enough to avoid both of us if you really want to.

I believe VG keeps coming back because he is learning from the PicList.=20
I know I am.

BTW, the bootloader study is coming along nicely. It is looking like the=20
situation is
not that complicated but most of the online information is dis=20
organized. The
documentation is more about making it work rather than understanding how=20
it works.

I am very hard to annoy or upset. Much of the over reaction I have seen=20
on the list
I attribute to language and cultural and language differences. I stumble
into that situation too frequently!

No offense intended!
