If you aren't already signed up on the basic stamp list, you might want

I have built a few projects that use Stamps, and have an arc
length controller for a plasma torch currently in the works...
Got an OEM BS2sx stamp sittin on my desk right now flashin'
some multi color LED's for no good purpose...  (-:
