Fun reading Larry .... that's why I didn't snip a thing. But just
think. All of us ancient day radio nerds have been replaced by cell
phones the Internet and iPods. A shame in a way ... electronics and
radio is a great hobby.

Anyone can just stop by any Radio Shack and see how very true that
statement is.... You can hardly find a fuse at Ratshack any more. The big
warehouse Ratshack closed and I think half of it is in my shed...(c; I
have a lifetime supply of #2, 4 and 8 fine stranded black and red power
cables I got out of a truck full of boxed cables and wound on spools,
including miles of Ratshack's nice #10 speaker cable zipcord. AT the
current price of copper, it's worth more than my truck!

Let's not make me sick saying "Ipod". Let's say MP3 players. Ah, that's
better. Ipods suck but are expertly marketed....
