It has been years (20 to be exact) since I took an electronics class. I want to build a small custom amp for $$$ reasons, but don't feel my skills are up to snuff to solder together a circuit. What I am good at though is wood work as I am a woodshop teacher and I want to build a custom cabinet...

bump... before it's lost to oblivion... I'll only do this a couple times to keep it up where it can be read for a few days, then off I go to the Oregonian newspaper. Anyone have any leads? 18 people have viewed it so far... maybe one of you guys know something that might help in this...

I have been in a futile search for the last year to find an old cabinet style table saw that I could purchase for my home woodshop. I teach woodshop at North Bend High School and have old Unisaws there for the students. I want to find one like them so that I can have it at home for a number of...

I hit a term a few times that means nothing to me and I finally decided to ask about it. The term "digipak" that they put after the title of a CD in listings on Amazon, half.com, and eBay... Can anyone explain this one to me? There is a CD on eBay that is closing Thursday like this and I would...

I posted before about my collection of Wile E. Coyote watches, but have since then added several new ones. I have also figured out how to host my pictuers on my charter web page and so can now show much better pictures of them all. There are at least 4 or 5 more out there that I know of but...

you know how long it takes to rip 700+ CD's????? My wife will kill me if I do that one again..........

I have a delima... I have ripped about 700+ CD's yielding somewhere in the neighborhood of 10,000 tracks into my computer (and Yes, I do own the CD's!) I used 128 bit WMA format for the collection as that sounded good for my purposes as a jukebox to play my music in my woodshop and as background...

I ordered a car alarm setup from JC Whitney +3 relays. After an eternity in shipping, I got the alarm and 3 12V probes instead. I checked the item numbers and discovered that they were one number different. I was billed for 3 parts at $5 each, got 3 extreemly useful probes valued at $60 each...

I have had some luck with LCDs through ecost.com. I just bought a Princeton 19 inch LCD for $400 and since then I have seen it even cheaper on the site. They now have some 17 inch for $200 I think. Shipping is free. I bought the Princeton to get the DVI input and wasn't blown away with the...

Yep... still have the RV and Manufactured home park (recently expanded by 18 new upscale RV sites for a total of 88 rv sites and 50 home sites) and I still teach woodshop at the highschool. The park isn't going anywhere, but at least we won't be living "in" our work anymore. I will also be...

Well, last night was a blast. We let the kids in on the 6 month secret finally and they were ectastic! Primarily it was the idea of a gymnasium all to themselves that they were the most jazzed about. Our oldest daughter (12) was repeating "I don't believe you..." for the first 15 minutes until I...

In about 30 minutes, I go down to pick up the keys to my very own school!!! My wife and I have been working on this project for the last 6 months and today get to finally take posession of 5.3 acres of land with 33,000 sqft of buildings on it including my own personal gym, library, cafeteria, 10...

I have heard all the worst about ME, but I have never had any problems with it as an OS. I prefer it to 98se for the multimedia improvements and easier compatibility with USB devices. The computers usually run pretty barebones and don't have much more than a few programs on them. I have...
