>>Remind me how wonderful a 80 resistor *L F O * is again....<<

My thumbs got sore just doing the lead bending for my two LFOs.  Not to 
mention the amount of wasted time it takes to bend resister leads one at a 
time for 10 modules at once.  Isn't there some kind of device I can just drop 
the resisters in, turn a crank and have it spit out resisters all nice and 
ready to insert?  I have seen in the past, resisters that are pre-bent.  Why 
doesn't Synthtech use those?

Is it just me, or do others think Paul has too many side interests.  As 
customers, I think we should demand his attention be paid to Synthtech 24 
hours and day, 7 days a week.  Or at least until he gets the damn Mixer 
module done ! :)

BTW, something I wanted to do years ago was develop some kind of guidance 
system for a model rocket and write the software to guide it.  But I have 
heard that it is illegal to put a guidance system into model rockets.  That 
kind of takes the fun out of rocketry.
