      Humanoido:

      Again you're bringing us gold! No frankincense or myrrh, but clearly you're a wise man. Obviously, Santa is the second busiest person this time of year, right after you. I thank you for being so quick to credit me here and on Youtube for the Rudolph LED penguin idea, but you are the man responsible for doing all the work. You are the hero of the hour and year for being the driving force behind Penguin Tech. All of your PT issues are incredibly interesting and informative. Thank you so much for tirelessly assembling all this great material!

      erco

      PS: Here's the obvious "next" seasonal application for the Penguin: New Year's Eve. You know the American tradition in Times Square when the ball starts up high and slowly lowers down until it hits the ground at midnite... Make some type of lightweight pingpong ball with an LED inside, attached to a Penguin by a 4-foot string. Have the Penguin walk on a table with the ball over the table edge, so it lowers as the Penguin walks forward toward the table edge... Make it "Ken Gracey's Rockin' Eve"! [noparse]:)[/noparse]

      WOW! Erco! Thank you! Your comments are greatly appreciated.
      It looks like you actually know how much work went into this.
      DOUBLE WOW! You've come up with another great Penguin idea!

      Not sure why, but when you download the zip file for the codes, the file
      is received as PT4 without the zip extension, so you'll need to add it so
      it looks like this example. Is this my computer's problem or the same
      on other PCs?

      Thanks Mikerocontroller for testing this. It looks like some
      transformation takes place in the file name after it goes
      through the country routers. I'm glad it can still download.
