what would be very interesing would be if anyone can get hold of cheap supplies.

For example, many of my projects have fallen over due to lack of stuff like small motors and gearboxes, linear actuators - that sort of thing. The problem isnt getting them, its getting more than one the same, as I cant afford much more than 'reclaimed' stuff...

Im looking at USB interfaced microcontrollers for building control systems I can plug into my PC, too - something like the EZ USB or SL811
