Yeah, I did a lot of it in school (I was in a technical program for
electronics that was supposed to be electrical engineering, but as
soon as we got to programming microprocessors, it was clear that was
where my skills were).   I havnt done it in a while, but I have some
broken stuff I was going to practice on before I did any work on
anything that I might miss.
