Well put Sam. I agree that there are alot of well meaning folks on this list that mis-quote the past and I'm glad you stepped forward to make this correction. I've seen quite a few gems come from the list and Darrel's creation and instructions of the Digitool is one of the very best. And I'm sure many folks probably already understand that he most likely quit making them because he was probably overwhelmed by the demand. I may be wrong but it would not suprise me.

I would suggest to those that want one to study up on some basic electronics and soldering. There's plenty of info. on the internet and books (remember those?) that you can read and become knowledgeable very quickly about how to put the Digitool together. I'm sure there are many folks out there that have already done this. The silent majority of this list probably reads most of the articles from the archives as I usually do. And they glean what they need from the constant generous contributions of the collective mechanical and electrical genius's.
