That's awesome bigmessowires. 
And what a coincidence, my classic II is showing that screen again. (It does that occasionally, I think the 230MB Drive is dying.)
Watching your progress on the Plus Too is so inspiring. Makes me think about the kind of things I could try when I learn enough. (As if there's such a thing!)
I'm very excited about college this quarter because I'm taking my first programming course, "Programming Fundamentals." This will be the course's textbook. The only thing I've done with programming so far is read some programming books and maybe compile their examples. But I've never really gotten further than that because for me I need an actual project with a personal goal. (The way I taught myself HTML, JavaScript and currently PHP.) And I haven't come up with any ideas that can work with just the console. (Eg, an APNG editor.)
That's also why I'm eager to teach myself programming on the Classic Macs. You learn to program the interface instantly. No "learn the console, then find a GUI library you like and learn that." I still kinda need to find myself a goal to get started, but I'm researching one idea that looks promising. (Making a basic Stunnel clone, kind of like this.)
Anyway, I'll probably stick to software as my career. But I definitely want to dabble with hardware in the future, like some of the stuff you do.
Keep up the awesome work!
