You mean like the time we used the 300Mhz Tektronix scope to watch the DCC
project?  Or the FPGA/PAL/GAL/PIC machine to program the PALs for the DCC
encoder?  Or the time we misappropriated a workstation to program ProjectX (or
for that matter, the time itself we misappropriated to program ProjectX? Or the
x86 SBC that'll power my car MP3 player? The time I used a CallPilot2.0 to run a
graduate course project demonstration?  (the only ever active trial usage of
that voice menu application!  Work and play in the same project!)  :)

Why is everything at 3.58 MHz?
