Welcome aboard Zach,
I have been in the electronics trade since around late 1986 but now am retired as there is no real challenge in being a PCB jockey now days & no longer repairing things at the component level as I was trained to do.
I have been into the electronics side of things since I was quite young & used to fix valve (tube) radios & TV's in the late 70's & graduated to colour (color) TV's in the early 80's.
I will still get my hands dirty in that old technology as I'm pretty well versed in it.
These days I'm also into computers in a big way & I build a lot of the PC's that I use, So I would call myself a computer geek & darn proud of it.
