I have been in countries at war, like Congo, and life there was the simplest thing you could have. In fact, all the complexity appears when there is peace. People do not save or study or anything secondary when there is war. Are you going t

Thanks. I hate it so much when people do not explain the acronyms they use, at least once. It is like a map without a legend. It is so confusing. And I am an expert on electronics, I can guess it, most people will read that as nonsense.
