Guys, guys, its OK....

This dude will go off and find either another board that is more user friendly, has stolen sound fonts and be happy with it because it's "less fragile" and he can go ahead and insist on pumping as much voltage as he wants thru it because he will have a 5W voltage regulator that he is dying to use.

By the way, I also thank you jmPlagueis for reminding me why I never visit these forums anymore. <sigh>
