Here's something I've been interested in--  How many people've built their
own black box?  With the plethora of silicon horsepower that can be found
nowadays, I'd imagine that a whole lotta fun can be had with a
roll-yer-own ECU.  Course, one've my 'projects' (Which may or may not
ever be started/completed, depending) is to be able t' surf the net and
read my 'mail from my car, so I may be biased.  ^_^
