Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi,
I afraid I have no electronic training what so ever, but I have been poking around inside of electrical devices since I was a child. My dad was a radio/tv repairman, so I've no fear of electricity, but lots of respect for what it can do, especially at high voltages.

I can solder and have repaired many laptops and desktop computers and a few radios. I've worked with electronic techs for decades, so I know the jargon and the jokes, like what is the purpose of a transistor? Answer - It burns up to save...
