I know the type of person you speak of with respect to radio, tv,
electronics and even computers - many of them are my paying customers since
they want the ora of being a computer enthusiast but can't (or won't)turn a
screwdriver. I've done many side jobs too, from replacing tubes/valves in
radio rigs to modifications to factory units (CB mostly). It's all fun and
all good. Of course the money makes it better too.
