    I like it. I hope this type of tech exposure gets a good hold on the media. We need to catch kids at a young age to lead them into our exciting world. DAB

    Hi Drew! Will be interesting to hear how it goes on TV.

    Always nice to see the PRU being put to interesting uses. And the color detection demo was great too - very fast.

    (By the way, the other links in the post are mangled too, seems some Outlook issue with pasting URLs?).
