Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi everyone, I never took a class in electronics, I'm mostly self taught, and admittedly, not a great teacher or student.
First project was a crystal radio in 1967.. got it to work with a razor blade and a pencil lead. first putter was a Timex Sinclair.. was that 1979? put together a game program that was lots of fun, very popular at my parties, called it thermal nuclear annihilation.
I got my hands on a late model Apple 2C, and tried to make a character recognition machine by connecting it to a Sony camera....
