Re: Re(fcc): TI-H: Radio/Infrared/Laser Communications
What difficult functions does a toll booth have? No not EVERYONE, but
pretty much anyone who has made successful programs in the past and is
logical... and it is impossible to have the perfect software/hardware
combination, so don't even say that. And no, you simply don't just piece
together a few IC's, it takes a lot more to create a good device... just
because HE didn't make the MAS doesn't make it simple to make...
