Do we want to have the fabric skirting at the Pre run? Personally I don't think it's necessary as we did it last year and will do the same procedure this year. Your thoughts. Xan (using Dean's account) (23 years ago, 26-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)

David's Gondola program is done. Though I should add in the ability to use a different sensor as well. Just the Big Hogwarts program left to do and to solve that issue with the detection. Whew. Dean (23 years ago, 25-Jul-01, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
