ok,

well, i'll need 3 servos. one to hold the lid up and two to open the latch on each side. or should i just remove those mechanisms? ha

it was harder to quit cigaretts than just saying i quit. every waking minute for two weeks all i could think of was lighting up. it was as much (maybe actually more) keeping my hands fiddling with the things as wanting the nicotine hit.

for as long as a year, at times, soon after a meal, i still wanted one. back then (over 30 years ago) they didn't have nicotine patches and such.

my dad was ordered to quit by his heart dr. several years ago. he told me a few times that there were days he had to seriously ask himself who was bigger him or the cigs. ha

my best reason to quit was that i was starting to raise a family and i wanted to be able to buy baby shoes, shirts & pants etc. dad just wanted to live a little longer. i believe living long enough to raise a bigger family of rc planes and buying them more wheel pants is a good enough reason to quit. ha

ps. my computer guru says he'll need to order new friction hinges for the lid, and that the graphics can't be upgraded to 3d. i might just use the servos or duct tape. ha
