Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello guys,
I see many differently aged and educated people here - good stories to read ...
I am also one of those elders, but I think the most important is how old you feel yourself :-)
Started with electronics when I firstly needed to find out how can I build my own distortion pedal for my guitarist in my first band - back in 1979 ... funny enough I've used germanium transistors and diodes because only these were available at the local store. Now everyone want to go back to these times and build their circuits...
