I don't want to discourage you in the least, but I think that 4 hours every two weeks is not very much time to construct a solid contender. But I could be wrong. Why don't we ask? :) Hey everybody in the U2600 club, how long have you been working on your programs? (guess total hours if you can :-) Dave
