We sell burgers for a living, lol. Just joking, I hope.

Assuming your interest is (or will be) electronics hooked up to a computer/microprocessor/system-on(-a)-chip, then I would recommend dev kits for the MSP430 or the very interesting Parallax "Propeller".

On subject (sort of): if anyone has the equipment I would be interested to know the frequency response of the inbuilt speakers for 770/800/810. Why? I have an idea, here's a hint: anyone remember principle of operation of early tv remotes?
