Thanks for the concern, dude, but I wasn't really trying to put myself down in that post you relied to. It's just on quiet a few attempts to post code for pics I have forgotten small vital things in the code that make it work. Therefore I have to take up more bandwidth here trying to get it right. Gets a little irritating I guess. I have no esteem issues at all myself. I have a beautiful, great and caring wife. I father three wonderful boys. I'm a locally accomplished musician. Been in many local bands playing bass guitar and singing back-up vocals. I also play accoustic guitar. Been vocalist in quiet a few weddings including my own. Attend a wonderful church where I play bass and sing back-up vocals in the Praise band. Love harmony vocals. I have written quiet a few songs on accoustic. I have worked the last nearly twelve years as a furniture warehouse/delivery man. All these things the Good Lord has blessed me greatly with. Thanks again for your kindness, and no matter what you do, KEEP IT LONG, DUDE!!!
Glad to hear everything's OK. Sounds like you've got a pretty good life. I play guitar and bass too (although I don't get much time to practice -- I'm always on the computer!). Take care, friend.
Keep it long as I will continue to keep mine long!!

..." I did have ONE thing to be confident about. I started learning electronics at a very young age (about 12 years old). I didn't know what I was doing at first; but as I got older I stayed with it and eventually became an electronics technician. I didn't plan it. It just sort of came to be.
...I got a job at a TV/VCR (etc.) repair shop when I was 16. I had never worked on these things before, but I knew how to troubleshoot (most projects I've tried DON'T work straight from books or kits). I always had to try and fix them (sometimes unsuccessfully).
...When I was learning electronics, I "fried" many parts -- at first. Eventually, I learned enough to know what I was doing wrong and became a damn good tech (even if I say so myself). It's not just that I claim to be "a good tech"; it's that I've proven it to myself and others. I always took on the most difficult repair jobs. Eventually, I was ALWAYS given the hardest repairs -- ones that others had given up on -- or simply didn't know enough theory to fix (experience helps a lot too).
...The whole time I was doing this I studied and worked with computers as well as electronics. I guess I've always just had a fascination with how things work. So today, I repair computers (build as well) in addition to repairing electronics. I've repaired everything from satellite recievers to arcade game machines [I used to have Tempest -- which I loved].
...Despite the fact that I know a lot and sometimes design circuitry, there is always more to learn. NO ONE knows everything, but I am constantly learning and perfecting my art." ~RedRocker
