It used to be that you could go down to a library or surplus store, and buy a copy of your television's technical manual, published by Sam's (as I'm sure many of you are familiar with their modern books). This manual would give you all of the intricate technical details of components and even the specific signals between components, and by which you could learn all sorts of great things. However, nowadays, in the age of VLSI and (dare I sayeth) ULSI, you can't just do that. It's disheartening, to some extent...

Also, with appliances today wouldn't it be easier just to buy a new one instead of replacing the old one. Well truth be told I personally do not mind. Though this point does annoy me a bit that if my hybrid car ever breaks down I would have to take the thing to the dealer to have it fixed.

Our rookie drivers generally get their first "real match" experience at the Florida Regional which is usually a week 2 or week 3 event. That is a much easier "practice event" than IRI. - Kit Gerhart [more]
