Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi, I've visited this site many times in the past and just thought "why not join". I retired from telecommunications 7 or 8 years ago but still like to "fix" things. I help silver surfers and (try to) repair laptops, mobile phones etc. I started out buying faulty tv's from auction sites, but postage became costly and tv prices dipped. The latest project is a plasma tv from a friend which suffered lightning strike/power surge.
