=======================================

Yeah, EXTREMELY GROSS, since it is wrong. (Thanks Neal, for pointing 
this out--and without flaming, too!). Let's try:


             diode   resistor    VCC (+5v)
+----+                            o 
|    |        | /|                |
|'640|o-------|< |---/\/\/\/\/\---+
|    |        | \|                  
+----+                         
                              
This is STILL really gross, but it should at least work...

BLUSH!
