Thanks - Not sure though how easy these thingies are to program and setup, looks like pieces for - how should I phrase it - "real" systems.

Actually, the price points are good and they have lots of programming examples. I basically taught myself PLC programming using their stuff. We use the DirectLogic PLCs[^] in a lot of places because of their flexibility, size, and price.

Hrm. Automation Direct looks more like an industrial automation supplier (automated assembly lines and its ilk). Didn't see much in the way of a source for the hobbyist.

Yep, but Automation Direct is at the low end of the supply pool for most industries. They're known for very inexpensive, no-frills stuff.
I just offered it up as an idea.

More powerful, I think, and more easier to use.

Cool! I got littleBits a few years ago for my kid to get him interested in electronics. It was a fad to him.  He enjoys math and science, just not interested in hardware for now.
Here's another[^] that looks interesting. Seems a few kickstarter projects have come up since then to make Lego-type electronics.

Great thinking... It would be around $100

Because the autoimmune system is out of control, thinking under such pressure can be difficult.

The real cause of hay fever is a Devil attack or Cosmic System attack. God delivers the victim over into Devil's power, and Devil proceeds to attack. The spiritual attack from devil enslaves the person in the Cosmic System. He falls under Devils power, and the autoimmune system loses control and overreacts. Thus, the person becomes hypersensitive to external stimulants, especially those involving the nose, breathing, and spirituality. His nasal passages and sinuses are easily irritated, and he is hypersensitive to psychic attacks from people and their demons. People are a much bigger problem than pollen. Sneezes are caused by people in the vicinity along with their demons

This is not to be hissed about when you go scratching this post in the lounge hey. How about leaving Catman to get his 23 Hours sleep in and then just pay him for his services that HE wants to offer with a good batch of catnip. But beware of the God-complex when you call upon his help as he will not be moused by pleads alone

Please don't give these comic book goofs another idea. All we need are more TV shows and movies with weird people.
