Wow... I'm... astonished...

Back about 15 years ago, a friend an i build a calculator based on
an embedded version of the 80186... and we were the big shots at
our high school... Now studendts build THz imaging arrays?

I guess, in 10 or 20 years, students will be building warp drives... ^^'

Well.. back to topic... I'd very much like to see the documentation
of your projects. Why? Because i'd like to learn from others and and
your projects seem very interesting :-)
