Dwayne,
     After I flesh out an idea on paper I will then transfer it in to a=20
PCB creation program or AutoCAD. These are my preferences.
Thanks,
rich!

P.S.
     I just built a new system and installed Win8.1 64 bit Pro on it. My=20
XP system was getting long in the tooth and the hardware would not run=20
any thing in the MS family beyond Win7. I still have and use the XP=20
machine. I now have a two channel KVM and the XP machine is right next=20
to the Win8.1 machine.
Thanks,
rich!

BTW,
     These is my last machine and my dream machine.
Thanks,
rich!
