Whoo hoo

So, I got this Star Wars themed Laser Tag set from a rummage sale awhile back. One of the guns, didn't make a sound regularly when fired. You could score hits, but no sound. Kind of annoying.

About a month ago, I took it apart but couldn't figure out what was wrong with it, so I left it apart on my desk.

Today, I decided to glance at it again. While looking at it, I noticed an old speaker I had saved from some other device stuck to a metal bar on my desk. I thought, what the heck, lets hook it up and see if the speaker is bad. So I hooked it up temporarily and sure enough, it made a nice sound when fired. Rip out the old speaker, put in the 'new' and presto! A working gun once again.

YAY!

So close I can taste it

SO I'm trying to export some data in C# to XML and my class has a couple of list classes in them and its really annoying. This page (http://www.codeproject.com/kb/xml/xml_generic_list.aspx) got me REALLY close. It outputs ONE record of five... not sure why yet.

Starting to really annoy me....
