Vesa,

Thanks for your well wishes.  I look forward to clearing KiCad out of my head so I can
actually give more important things the focus they deserve.

Our acquaintance has been a pleasure, especially being able to meet you face to face.
Thanks for coming down to the meet a couple of years ago.

Maybe some day you will actually buy a SoftPLC and appreciate what I do in my real job.
We have it running on the beaglebone now, so the hardware cost is pretty darn cheap.  And
with a Modbus TCP driver you can run a whole factory on a computer that costs less than
$100.  (Although with our software on it, it costs more.)

Hard to imagine what the technology is doing in terms of hardware costs.  No, it's not
just hard, its impossible to imagine it.

We just put up a new website at http://SoftPLC.com and it has an e-commerce direct buy
website also.

And if you want to ship your product out on a skid an do remote monitoring and maintenance
on it, we have http://tagwell.net for M2M cellular to cloud data acquisition and control.
 (I can actually lock a restroom in San Antonio, right now, using my cell phone, and see
if anyone is in it.)

So yes, we stay busy around here.

Dick
