  1. Shawn,
    thanks so much for this information. I have a MicroLogic sitting in my basement that I am not using and a friend with a young son who has opened a pumpkin stand so he can raise money to build a robot. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lincolns-Pumpkin-Stand/1546863968877157

    I thought Lincoln might be able to use the MicroLogic to learn some automation, I just needed the software. Thanks for helping me make a young smart kid happy.
