Re: Please Read Bryan: Re: TI-H: Code and schematics and such
Well, I really appreciate your offer
but I've worked on programming projects
with others before and I've noticed that
things can get confusing fast when you
have to adjust to another's coding style.
The source is finished, but not debugged,
so I might as well finish my own code.
