   Using a 555 or similar type chip, I would like to have the output change   
   from low to high or high to low every time the system is turned on. IOW, the   
   output is a high, then the system is turned off. When the system is turned   
   back on, the output goes low. Each power up of the circuit changes or   
   "flips" the output state. I am willing to incorporate CMOS and a battery   
   back up in the design. Some of the ideas I entertained is a divide by 2 in   
   front of the toggle, giving me the same state every other time. However, I'm   
   not sure how to do this practically or if it's the way to go. Any   
   suggestions out there? All comments welcomed and thanks.
