Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Howdy folks, I just turned 60, and have been in electronics since my first job as apprentice in a tv repair shop at age 16. After a tour in the Army and a few years just bumming around on an old '48 Harley Panhead, I started working on puters in late 70's maintaining an old TI960-based circuit board tester, then worked for Texas Instruments and General Radio as a field service engineer. Troubleshooting was done with "fatfinger" programs written in machine code and loaded through the front panel with toggle switches...

Hi folks. I'll turn 60 this month. I started fixing TV's in the 60't at age 16. been at it off and on, last occupation was computer and monitor repair. Had a liver transplant in 2002, and some heart problems since, but am in fair shape otherwise. I live on 5 acres of brush where nearly everything here will stick, stab or bite you. I love bringing broken things back to life. Especially things that other folks have given me as "junk".
