Ho ho ho Bin library

[Walter Sherwin]

Wull, however you want it Bruce.....

But,  I would tend to think that a library of stock OE CAL's in close
proximity to a similar nearby library (seperately labelled of course) of
CAL's associated with, or related to, or referenced to the above would be
helpful to newbies in the sense that people could independantly seek out
firsthand illustrations of ..........1)what the pro's take your money for
[in equivalent applications], or..........2)what the real die-hard
enthusiasts/homegrowers have accomplished/tried and found to work (or not to
work) with specific applications, with specific CAL's.

One does not have to preclude the other, but instead they can co-exist as
contrasting examples. Kind of an illustratrative tutorial supplement to
"Tunung 101", but certainly no replacement.

Often new people starting out mostly need a "sanity check" once in awhile
(ie: the student says.........I understand "what" direction to go in, but am
I really coding this damn thing right, and why is it not working for me?).
Making bread, and learning to fish, are are about as relevant to a new
carpenter as is basic accounting.

Just a few thoughts......
