I can change it to something else, maybe a pile of chips or something. That section didn't have any images at the beginning, so I wanted to have something there. I guess splitting the samples directory doesn't help too much, however maybe the blink samples could go somewhere else. I like the database/ search idea. Maybe a small program could be put in the jallib-pack that could display or search the sample files. On the website would will nice but it will take us some time. I bet there are samples & libs that I have not seen that I may be interested in, but just haven't noticed them. Matt.
