Until you got caught? ;)
Used to love getting the belt and watching the (usually fat, baldy old headmaster) huffing and puffing, trying unsuccessfully to inflict pain on me, while I just stood and grinned :D

When I got to 14 I just refused and there was nowt they could do bar send me to the rector. As I was the golden goose the won the school all its trophies he just asked me to be more discrete. as for non appearance in classes, he gave me the idea of appearing at role call in morning and then pissing off if that was my desire(as long as I put in the training and won those golds) ;) surprisingly life has been pretty much the same since. ....if you are making it for the boss he just accepts your foibles if he has any sense ....did the same myself
Well, quite. Which is why there's no point in asking for an explanation if you can't understand the explanation, or if you need it simplifying to the point where it's meaningless! That's where I'm at; if I like the sound of something, that's good enough for me. When the talk turns techy, my eyes glaze over and my mind starts wandering.Quote:

It might as well be in Mandarin Chinese or Sanskrit for all the sense it made to me, even in a 'dumbed down' version. I'm not proud of my ignorance, I really ought to educate myself in at least the basics, but partly out of laziness and partly out of disinclination, I never have. Which is why I stick to stuff that 'just works'.Quote:

It might be worth looking at the circuit diagram I posted and trying to match it to the explanation and the photo. I did it that way so you could. I started by just reading simple circuit diagrams (which this is) and went from there. I still don't understand complicated stuff, but this is just like a drawing of a cabinet or a kitchen plan.
A lot of us have a reluctance to try (don't ask me anything about computers!), but starting with something simple is often a way into a new interest. A bit like jazz? :eek:
I did and the article you linked to certainly made it clear to me what it all did and how it might eliminate earth loop hum, although electronics is still 75% magic and hocus pocus to me so I don't really understand how it really works...Quote:

I used to sell copied video games as we were the first to get a 'twin' cassette deck... unfortunately, it was short lived of course as everyone got them.
I made £50 in a week!
Strange though... our deck used to copy games at high speed much better and with less errors than at normal speed.
Ha, me too!Quote:

But as I make or mod stuff regularly, adding this is no big deal.
