Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi I like to service all my own equipment. That way I know exactly where to find the technician when I need him and also I know exactly who's neck to put my hands around when the job is not done properly. Something is not obsolete because its old ..it becomes obsolete when it fails to do its job reliably. Reliability is infinitely more important to me than cosmetics -- who cares if the hammer is ugly provided it can hit that nail good. I am a total fan of open source.

Hi I like to have equipment that I can fully service myself when I have to. That way I know exactly where to find the technician when I need him and I know who to chase if its not fixed properly. I prefer some of the older things because they were better made and often you could get information on them. Reliability is a infinitely more important to me than cosmetics. I dont like seeing things thrown away for the love of a circuit diagram and some effort.
