OK, I'll take a look.
The other problem of course is that using an FPGA system is like typing
some stuff into a little black box and getting an answer come out. If I
wanted to do that, I could just write a small computer program that does
the same thing, on a real computer. ;-) It seems almost like cheating...
There's something tactile about having a physical box of wires with
flashing lights in front of you. (Although obviously it's a *hell* of a
lot more work!)
