This is why I bought the bare board and partial kit as well. Funding and 
the desire to do it myself. Isn't that why Open Source is all about? (grin)

And howdy to everyone. I just got on board and hope to have a great 
ride. I know very little about designing and the like. What I do know is 
electronic building and functionality; html and css; and writing 
(manuals? directions?). While a lot of this is over my head, I am 
learning and I hope to be more valuable later.
