Ok, now I know I'm a geek, feels kind of strange to look forward to study a logo on a circuit board. My DualLite Wandboard should arrive tomorrow, so the fun will start soon :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98339 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
