Hi Andy,

Trained in s/w, so I do mostly h/w for a living.  Wound up doing loads of 
embedded stuff for industrial apps, robotics, instrumentation, comms etc. - 
and often did some or all of the firmware if/when required.  Linux / uClinux 
newbie, fair background in mini-OS/micro-kernel/no-OS type stuff - so this 
is fun getting used to all the assumptions and "standard techniques" Linux 
types live with, that I've got to learn by implication.

Jim
