We can do things with free hardware and tools which will be even cheaper and there are also many people like us in our community. We can organize a meeting we can discuss and we can build an environment we can learn and help ourselves. We can discuss this in the monthly meet on Saturday. -- With Regards, Gowtham Raam.J _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
