	1/27/10 - Patched together some Pong code (game not the professor) on the Spartan 3E dev board to learn VGA interface. Pong code lacks sounds - might as well give that a try.		1/27/10 - Patched together some Pong code (game not the professor) on the Spartan 3E dev board to learn VGA interface.

	Limited AM radio. Use passive front end Nyquist filter, digital down-converter and low-pass filter to receive the lower part of the AM broadcast band. Got the idea from Oct '09 Circuit Cellar article 'Multi-rate Techniques and CIC Filter'. Success would be anything that worked better than the chunk of geranium and safety pin radio from grade school.		Limited AM radio.
