Another question would be : where should one go to discuss electronics? I
have 2 projects I'd like some feedback on : repairing an ancient guitar
tube amp (specifically, I think the caps in the power supply are
hosored, causing a loud humm... but where to buy high voltage caps of
non-standard capcitance?), and I'd really like to get into PIC programming.
 I'd really like to have a resource where I can ask all the newbie
questions that crop up. (Yes, I've RTFMed, but far to often there's
little subtle things that aren't obvious, but that someone with experience
will know.

Odessey?
