[Gta04-owner] +++ last and final production batch GTA04A5 can be ordered now +++

[tgrauss]

Hi,

Thank you for all your answers.
As the ambient light sensor is through hole, I guess I will drill a 
little hole and have the sensor going lightly through the hole of the 
case.
I will be then very careful to keep enough money on the account until it 
is removed from the account.

Best regards.
