Maybe it'd help train our wives? Digital Fuel Mizer __________________ -Terry

I bet you could hook something up using a Wiimote or a PS3 controller to do the same thing. __________________

I think this would be a nice gizmo for $20, but $70 is way too much. CarloSW2 __________________ *What's your* EPA MPG? Go Here and find out!** American Solar Energy Society
