Bob,

It's been a long time since I built any electronic gear.

Once in a while I would see a Popular Electronics article
that I just had to have, but that was a long time ago, too.

It's NOT Obsolete to guys like me who want to know what the
earlier folks learned (The Hard Way) way back when.

In the 1960's I was listening to two people talking about
How Simple Such And Such Was, and I told them they ought to
write a book for folks like me to learn all about that Subject.

... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
