Hi All,

I'll second that - read the archives.  Almost every question and 'new' idea
I read on the list these days has come up many times in the past.  Of course
there is also some real cutting edge stuff and there are some 'old' ideas
(such as Mark's sync triggered gap) that benefit from a second (or third, or
fourth) airing.  But yet another post asking for 'detailed plans' for an
rsg, or what to coat a secondary with probably isn't in that catagory.

I'd suggest anyone looking for a good hands-on introduction type
rhull-at-richmond.infi-dot-net into the search engine on chip's excellent website
and read every post they find!

Safe Coiling
Nick
