Hi,
My name is Joe and I am retired. I want to learn about electronics! I have watched many of Bill's videos on YouTube and I am very impressed with his presentations which led me to this forum.
Let me tell you about my interests:
I like to build scale model cars (1/25 scale). I enjoy photography. I am an avid reader; US
history and non-fiction (John Sanford is a favorite). I also am a computer nerd. I bought my first computer in 1994 and had many IT jobs from monitoring LANs and WANs, payroll and bookkeeping, and building and repairing PCs.
I like to tinker and learn new things so I believe this forum will help me in that regard.
