- 0_____0 4y agoBeen a fan since I was literally 10 years old. I loved the writeups on Tesla coils. There's also a section on the Bajak Flux Capacitor including a schematic, which I tried to build in the hopes that I could mess with time control. There was also a heartfelt plea to geeks to not shoot up their school, written in the wake of the Columbine massacre. I really felt that one.
- anthk 4y agoAlso the site works perfectly under Dillo/Lynx.
- wbeaty 4y agoAll in HTML 1.0 written by hand, from Unix shell C, using pico. When I started, I was getting huge international traffic, from people seeing near-instant page-loading when using 2400 baud dialup. I think classrooms were using it for ESL teaching. Also, huge traffic from the deaf community (any images w/text paragraphs, and ease of speech screenreaders. Unexpectedly this put me way high on google, when it finally appeared years later.)
- anthk 4y agoOh, hello. On EE, I'm a CS guy, but I suck at hardware. Programming it's far easier, even ASM. I always wanted to understand the basics of electricity, but everything looks obscure, even with the Ohm's law. Your site helped me.

- TaylorAlexander 4y agoI’ve also been a fan since I was very young, and I did end up building a Tesla Coil thanks to the site!
