</div>Did I ever mention that I have a master degree in EE and ever since been<br>

I bet though, that you will come across situations in sw projects when you<br>
search for bugs that are not really obvious and hard to duplicate, that you<br>
wish you have a hardware project where you just pull out some measurement<br>
equipment and you're done. At the same time, if you're working on a hw<br>
project, you wish to have a sw project where you just pull out the debugger<br>
and fix the sw in a snap.<br></blockquote><div><br>Haha, I couldn't have said it better! It's always boggled my mind a bit how hard it can be (impossible?) to <i>really </i>figure out and observe what the code is doing at the lowest levels. <br>

Good to see you around here with some new spirit and enthusiasm.<br></blockquote><div><br>Thanks, I'm definitely looking forward to getting involved.. everybody seems so welcoming! :)<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
