For anyone who hasn't said it already, I want to say thanks to Dan
for putting this deal together. It's a big savings in cost, time,
and headaches to have an etched board to work with. It's beyond my
skills to have set this one up.

As far as the software goes, Dan's working with the latest version,
which hasn't been posted on the webpage yet. I'm trying to get a
full rewrite of the site done, and finally add those tutorials I've
been meaning to do. This project has been running at maybe 25% the
rate I'd hoped to move, so apologies to anyone who's been waiting on
me. Tell ya what, if you've been put out, send me an email and I'll
refund 150% of what you spent on the software and advice. ;)

One more thing: I remember seeing a post by someone who had some
rotary encoders he was graciously giving away. Is that person still
here, and does he have any more left?
