I already have a long list of changes to make, but if anyone has any suggestions I'll entertain them. 

It was mentioned elsewhere that a forum for PCBs would be a good idea. I'd like to second that. Thank you for your dedication to both the website and forum ? 

Sorry, I never thought to post them anywhere after I sent them. But if there is interest I can certainly start putting them on the website. I still have them all as Google Docs.

Thank you! I'd love that! Even though they are old I'd still like seeing how everything was before I became aware of the website and forum. (Before that I followed you you on youtube.)  ?

Island of Dr Moreau

Lol, great movie!

My only obligation that day is to cook a turkey dinner

On the Island of Dr Moreau, mad scientist and Nobel Prize winner for genetic mutations crosses a turkey with a millipede, finally solving that age old Christmas conundrum.

No matter how many people turn up for Xmas dinner, everybody gets a leg!

It's a downer day for the forums
as the software is replaced
and all the little forumulites
are cyberly displaced

All Bill's little helpers
that reside within his mind
work throughout the holiday
toward a forum redesigned

And all the forum members
will program their Arduinos
with chestnuts roasting on a fire
that's heating cappuccions.

It's the happiest day of the year
when technolgists go to extremes
to solder and program their robots
fullfilling all their dreams

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  ? ? ❤️ ? ? ? ? ? ? 

I don't even dare to turn on my computer on the 25th, let alone be caught with my iPad.

I live in a household of Luddites ? ? ?

Well, then I guess I don't need to worry about the forum not being available to you on the 25th!

My only obligation that day is to cook a turkey dinner, otherwise, everyone else can amuse each other while I work on the website.

Dec 25th is typically the lowest traffic day on the site

Dec 25th is typically the lowest traffic day on the site so it should have the least impact

Famous last words! :)

If I don't speak to you earlier, all the best for the Christmas season and new coming year!

Where can I find old newsletters that Bill put out? 

Sorry, I never thought to post them anywhere after I sent them. But if there is interest I can certainly start putting them on the website. I still have them all as Google Docs.

I'll be doing some major updates to both the website and this forum, in fact, it will be "off the air" for most of the day on Dec 25th as I'm also moving everything to a bigger server (Dec 25th is typically the lowest traffic day on the site so it should have the least impact).  I already have a long list of changes to make, but if anyone has any suggestions I'll entertain them.
