Exactly my point....

We break into two groups of thought here...

Halt at this point, and lay all plans on that halting (and, if ALL the
others don't agree--be bypassed anyway)...

Or, stay with the pack, realizing if that day ever comes (technology ceases
to innovate/obsolete)--we will regret it...

Progress, obsolete equip., is the most desirable thing I can imagine! It is
a given, not all will agree... Indeed, at 52 years of age, my place in the
"scope of the world" is becomming smaller--it only gets worse from now on--I
am not ready to quit and attempt to force others to that "quitting" with
me...

When the "Dick Tracy Wrist Radio" is finally designed and
implemented--perhaps there will be a "death of homebrewers" (I myself am NOT
much of a 'watchbuilder')--but until then we can have fun!

Warmest regards,
John
