That seems pretty simple, I'll file that in "useful stuff to remember" :-)

Someone at work introduced me to Arduino a few months ago (they used one 
to control a test rig here), I was so impressed how simple it was to set 
up and code for that I ordered one myself to tinker with at home - so 
that's taking up my "spare" time at the moment. Along with decorating 
the house, and playing iRacing, and keeping fit, and ... Fiddling with 
C# is pretty low down the list nowadays.

I'm sad that MS have discontinued proper 3D graphics support with C#. 
You used to have the option between XNA or managed DirectX, both of 
which were pretty easy to use at perfectly good enough performance 
levels. Now you have to use C++ and Windows 8, which is a shame as 
that's not really justification enough for me to upgrade from Windows 7 
(not to mention relearning all the differences between C++ and C#).
