- morninglight 2y agoAustralia needs to understand that Dave Jones is a "National Treasure". He can be rough around the edges, but he is always direct and honest.
- contingencies 2y agoDave's the Steve Irwin (Crocodile Dundee) of the 21st century... by which logic, one day he'll die of preventable heart trauma reaching in to an undomesticated AC system assembled from AliExpress and his family will set up a museum containing all of his pet devices and live on the proceeds of tourism. Interesting that he made his early money selling mailed software and electronics kits, which just shows how important print communications were.
- ojame 2y agoSteve Irwin was “the Crocodile Hunter”. Croc Dundee was a fictional character. Irwin was also alive (and prolific!) during the 21st century.
- contingencies 2y agoRight you are, but culturally they're equivalent entities.
- JKCalhoun 2y agoOnce again the "150-in-One", etc. Science Fair Electronic Project Kits [1] (from Radio Shack in the US) are the genesis of someone's love for electronics. Add me to that list. If there's a modern equivalent, I'm not sure I've seen it. Certainly there is nothing on the scale, of the same ubiquity as those kits. Best Christmas presents ever, mom. Thank you, again. (I've since tried to capture some of that joy, along with the "Engineer Mini-Notebooks" that Forrest Mims wrote (also for RadioShack), with a 555 Timer breadboard accessory and a Transistor Logic breadboard accessory. I've just been to lazy to post them.)

- buescher 2y agoElenco still makes them, but yeah, you can't buy them at a Radio Shack around the corner anymore.
- Bjartr 2y agoThey are available at Macy's these days since they resurrected Toys R Us [1], not a common as RadioShack, but still brick and mortar. Amazon, of course, has tons of kits of that kind [2] [1] https://www.macys.com/shop/featured/elenco https://www.macys.com/shop/featured/elenco [2] https://www.amazon.com/s?k=elenco https://www.amazon.com/s?k=elenco
- buescher 2y agoThe Macy's link only has the "snap circuits" line which is not exactly the same thing. Might be better for all I know. Here is the kind of kit we're talking about: https://www.amazon.com/Elenco-Electronic-Playground-Learning-Center/dp/B0035XSZDI https://www.amazon.com/Elenco-Electronic-Playground-Learning...

- geomark 2y agoI laughed. It's the same way I got started, taking stuff apart and getting yelled at for it. But I never got one of those kits :(
