[Balloon] Balloon

Charles has to be congratulated for keeping us on our toes!
It's just what we need to knock the mighty BalloonBoard into shape.
Efforts this end are also excellent, ta!

The boards are available at the website below (both FPGA and CPLD).
We've sold 1 FPGA to Gilles in Marseilles and a couple of hundred to
www.pod-point.com/ (who seem to be having some difficulty paying us, and DB,
and CMJ).
We're surviving financial just (having taken out a startup loan).
New customers welcome!
