Re: xPL Front End
Hi Frank,
Yes i read about this previously on here. I've seen some very nice
commercial stuff but i'm pretty handy with interface design (due to
work) so i thought the only way i could get something together that
my wife can successfully operate was to design and build it myself
with her input.
I wouldn't say that would make it foolproof cause someone always
comes along and builds a better fool ;)
Cheers
Steve
