I would have been 2.1. To be honest I didn't really give a toss about electronics when I was little. I had better things to be doing. I'm glad I didn't turn out like one of these 10 year old geeks who invented a kryptonite prism or something... hehe. No - I would have been pushing those shapes through holes in my postman pat van. Anyone else ever have one of those? I only really got into electronics in the last year or so. Anyway - bye I'm going out on the pi**.

I was 3.09 years old.. ages older you guys! I didn't know a resistor from an ant hill. But I'm sure I would have eaten either one given the opportunity.

You were a hungry little guy, like my 2.2 years old dog. I don't dare to leave resistors lying around. :lol:

But I have a looooong history of taking stuff apart to see how it all worked. (usually breaking it in the process). My friends and I would go around the neighborhood on garbage day and take old appliances and stuff back to my house and dismantle it.

I think back then it was more about the breaking than the learning...but it did spark my interest in electronics and engineering.

i used to watch my dad with all his electronics and he gave me things to look at and play around with to see if i could get them to work.... unfortunatley he died when i was 6 :cry:
