that you could use the brain of an animal for controlling something

All ready been done...I don't know the details but in a nation geographic
artical I saw with Mark T. there was a breif stint about some Japanese
proffesor "hacked" a cockroach and a grasshopper.

All I can tell you is it's old. (5 years or so) It was where I first found
out about BEAM.

You are not the first. We have had somebody do that as well. The best
replacement would be a new one. Have you any good electronics shops in yo=
ur
area. Down here in Oz we can get them for about $1.40 Australian for a pk=
t
of 8.
