So very true.
What starts out as a great idea can quickly become unrully to implement
and manage.
Just look at our OT threads. So many diverse opinions in this community.
Would the community have come up with the SER001, ATA Driver and NewtSync

To those who are creating wonderful new enhancements for the Newt, thank
you for your efforts -- my dollars are ready to be spent...
