But then again Robert .... I had this 'unnatural' interest in electronics. I
was always trying to wire something together. I recall a situation in 3rd grade
where I (with the help of my teacher) took an AC power supply, rectified it and
hooked up a couple of telephones set. The class was impressed that they could
actually speak over the phones ... impressed, that is, until the day I crossed
a couple of wires, and smoked the insulation off the wires, filling the room
with a wonderful aroma!

Fortunately for me, this did not end my tinkering career. Mr. Schmidt saw it as
an experience and showed me the error in my thinking...
