That is enough, I am sure there is a few items I have left out.  I wanted
to put it out there so you would have an idea of what I am expereinced in. 
Naturally the level varies within the subjects.  My next project is to
complete the IR distribution so I can command various items by voice with
HAL.  I will be asking you to share your expertise.

I look forward to some interesting conversations.

Regards,

RHalibur
