There's nothing like winning friends and influencing Audiogoners.

Good job, @madhusudan_ramaswamy !

Of all social media, facebook unfailingly indicates a man of wealth and refinement.

Integrated is very pretty. I have a sunbeam toaster and it’s a very pretty chrome toaster. This is a very unique toaster from the early 60s you literally do not have to touch the toaster to get toast. It has an automatic lowering mechanism and you just have to place the toast in the slot and wait for it to rise when done. It has a bimetallic sensor that senses temperature of toast.  No timer purely mechanical it’s a marvel of technology.

The integrated [OP has] is no doubt a marvel of technology.

Wait til you see his Bentley!

I would like to say two things.
a. OP’s approach to system building is a kin to a chimpanzee and a typewriter.

b. OP’s responses to members is a kin to Most of the fraud that happens on the Internet. 
At least that is what my impressions are upon this raft as I float down the river.
