                        Interesting concept            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Don't think so            01/01/70 00:00      
                           make a FULL schematic            01/01/70 00:00      
                              Of course            01/01/70 00:00

         that was probably I who did that ... and you're right            01/01/70 00:00
