 Why and how has been explained here a long time ago. I don’t remember where. I don’t remember how I did it. I remember once explained it wasn’t interesting any more. Give me a reason to do it again. Think of a way to motivate me.

You could not have built one without buying one and tiring it apart in order to see how to reengineer it in order to build a bigger one. Therefore how is it you don’t understand it? Ask. Explain. Ask again. Do some work. Post some thoughts. Motivate me.

...Or, Jim you could just have yourself a really nice day and forget about it and that would please me more. Smile. "When your smiling the whole world smiles with you."

Glenn,
