Re: CPU question
Saad, I've heard about that but I wonder whether it is a practical idea. The controlling software that would assign parts of the computing task to various computers would have to be vary

Re: optoisolators
You may use transformers, which are made for telephony (here in Slovenia we use 300-3400Hz bandwidth for POTS, I don't know what is in USA, but I think it isn't much different). Ask in Radio Shack

Re: International agreement on allocation of frequencies.
angtengchat, Yes, each country has allotted bands, sometimes shared. For example in N.A. Canada and Mexico share our broadcast band, to the delight of broadcast DXers. (DX = distant) who listen to

Re: PIC resources
Hi Mounir, Thanks for the concise definitions. I suspect that you can make mechanical devices using them. Maybe even a small robot? I haven't seen one, though. Are they commercially available? And how

As oil / energy is scarce, it would be great if we could find an "alternative source of energy" before oil gets depleted in about 200 - 300 yrs from now. I'm fully aware of that theory of concervancy
