My apologies if this has been posted before, I couldn't find it. http://www.dvdupgrades.ch/150019/Mod...put_board.html Being a CompE, I bow down to this feat - these fellows managed to make an add-on for just about any high-res player that taps the internal digital bitstream and will yield...

I've done some casework up until now with a hand drill, and dremel. It worked. But I finally cracked and ordered a drill press I really miss having access to one...if you have the space, it's worth it (there was no way I was going to squeeze one into my college dorm ).

I miss being a night owl. Did that through college. Now, my motivation to go to bed is that otherwise I'll have a bad day at work (9 a.m.). You mention, Ed, that you feel most creative at night. I thought I read once that many people are most creative in the very early morning (might be...
