I'm a "newbie" (I think this is the word a lot of you use to describe newcomers).
I think it is very good to get advice from others with obvious experience in electrics, electronics computers, programming etc.
It is also interesting to read the questions others pose.
I feel that I might even be able to offer some advice in the future (at least on electrics, electronics is not my strong point) to some of the other members.
Last week while trying to post a reply, I had some difficulty. I spent some time typing and when i clicked on the "submit " button I got a message telling me i was not logged in at a time when I was quite sure I was logged in. When I tried to re-log I lost the complete text I had typed, this happened me twice.
I'm not sure what the cause was , it may have been that I took too long to compose the message or it may have been due to my crochety old computer. But don't worry , I intend to keep coming back.
