I have come to a realization that..........

1) My eye sight is not what it once was, even magnified, the components are small enough to make it hard for me to solder....
2) People are right, Soldering Irons are SHIT....., I did the C1-15, and the LM1117, but from there it only gets smaller (Ram, CPLD, Resistor nets), and for that I need better soldering equipment, and here in Australia, thats like $200 to start.., and before the money to buy the Ram, CPLD

Its fine if you already have the equipment, in the industry, or whatever.

Its a shame, the project is great, People are great, I just havent got the gear or eye sight to keep going..

I thought I did, I really did, I wanted to, but alas I do not.

I will still be here, and you will have to bury me with my Amigas
