I tell ya, I've come awfully close to quitting my job at times when the boss wanted stuff like Bluetooth. After looking into things, I just told him, "If that's what the job is going to involve from now on, then I'm not interested," and at that point I didn't care if he said, "Ok, good bye." Instead, he valued my ability to whip up circuits, especially analog, highly enough to change his plans so I'd stay. When the fun is gone, so am I; and there have definitely been times when I thought I'd rather stock shelves and push a broom or drive a street sweeper or something.
Remember it's just a job, although I walked away from the phone industry quite a while back and I don't regret a second of it.

Garth, I read the articles and I went to your website. Very good material.

Thankyou. There are a few more major features I want to add to the website, but they're all an incredible amount of work, and I'm a little worn out on writing, and I need to get back to building. I'm starting to build myself another workbench computer with more of everything than the current one has—memory, speed, portability, I/O, A/D and D/A channels and with more bits of precision, bigger display and keyboard, etc.. It's a huge job, and it's amazing how many details need to be ironed out before you can start building the main computer board itself. I'm going for a half-rack-width 3U VME card cage (although my pinouts and signals won't be VME-compliant).
Sounds like good work.

About the website, very good website, thank you very much. Just how I like'em.

Thanks. I occasionally get emails from someone wanting to sell their services to make my site look professional, or asking to buy advertising, something I don't want on my site. I want it super simple while still being as clear as possible. If I were selling insurance or something, then yes, I'd have to have the irrelevant pictures of smiling families in the park, the annoying Adobe Flash things, faded pictures behind the text that make it harder to read, and those extremely irritating viscosity effects!
I think it's better to keep it simple. Downloading 1MB of unwanted garbage just to read a couple KB's of useful info doesn't make sense to me.

Went through some of the links.
If I find a place in a design for one of your modules I'll consider purchasing one; just so you know.
Very good work and thanks for sharing. If I'm good for anything, let me know.

Thankyou. With the price of PCBs coming down and down, it is becoming more realistic to offer more types of little modules, which I hope to do.
Sounds very good.

Those in the 'software'/devices industry "feel sorry" for you, Brad (not really), and to them you're nothing more than someone stuck in the past with some archaic "dead" "language" ('assembly', of course, not to mention machine language and the rest).

By the time you typed this reply, I already had. A lot of material for comment.
