Very well done to you lads. That was some project to take on and I for one
am seriously impressed that you got it finished. Looking forward to that

haha. 5.42 BogoMIPS. Well BogoMIPS never gave an accurate view anyway so I
would trust the number as far as I could throw it.
Well done though. Must be seriously chuffed with yourselves :-)
