Reading electronics mags, riding his bike to the "news agent" to get the latest copy... (As an American, I don't think I fully grasp the concept of a news agent.)6. The one with the flying spaghetti monster and/or atheism, which is apparently a point of contention with many viewers. (Baffling.)7. Oh boy.. by name.. not sure I could get this one right. Um.. "Electronics Australia Today Monthly"? Or various combinations thereof...

content: Quote from: zapta on May 14, 2014, 03:13:55 pmHere is my recollection1. I remember two, one with the garage and the new bench on top of the hood and one driving on the highway (to the analog TV station?). I think it was a gray Camary but am not sure.2. As mentioned, johnstronics and the .com domain already reserved though the server is not setup yethttp://jonestronics.com/error_log3. Two names I remember are Altium and Marconi. Some references to working on sonobuoys.4. The online dating book (Dave ones explained that he really got the technique going because he put it for good use and found a good mate *after* writing the book) and the PCB guide (very good, could be a book).5. He had a reference to some basic electronic lab that he got a as a child. Also avid reader of that Australian magazine (two interesting video episodes with the proprietor of that magazine).6. He is a self declared atheist. Some references to FSM (a t-shirt in one of the episodes?) but I don't think there is 'practice' involved.7. I don't remember the name but it's in one of the videos. He kept a collection of that magazine. Probably read it cover to cover many times as a kid.

content: Quote from: SirNick on May 14, 2014, 09:37:33 pmThink of a long narrow shop on a main street or in a shopping centre with big magazine racks down the middle and on the walls. Newspapers sit on tables at the front of the magazine racks nearest the front of the shop. There will be some racks for greeting cards and shelves for paper, envelopes, pens, mailing boxes etc. Cheap paperback books will also be available. There are probably two counters - one for general business and one for selling lotto tickets (both instant and otherwise). Posters will announce the deadline for the next $10m draw.Aussies are(were?) said to be the world's biggest magazine readers and magazines take up the most space. Magazines may be roughly arranged by mens and womens interests. Hence the electronics magazines will be near the computer magazines and probably the car, boating, motorbike, train, woodworking titles. When you buy you will almost certainly be waiting for the guy in front to sort out their lotto tickets.Newsagents open early in the morning to reflect when the papers come out. There may be a job ad on the door for a delivery boy/girl as they handle home delivery of newspapers. The newsagent will typically be next door to a chemist, real estate agent, hairdresser, liquor store, cafe or bakery etc in any smaller group of shops in an older suburb.We do have newsstands in city centres and supermarkets now sell newspapers and a small (but increasing) selection of magazines and greeting cards. But for range of magazines (including the diminishing number of electronics mags) nothing beats a traditional newsagency. As a kid it probably helped being short enough to be able to leaf through EA, ETI, TE, SC, AEM, etc down the back in peace!As for quotes, who can forget 'it looks pretty crusty' and it's not something yummy from a bakery?

content: A 'how are ya' (doing) is a old term term I have heard used to describe to describe what are more commonly called Knackers, Tinkers, Pikies, Gypsys or Travelers. They will greet you with 'How are ya doing Boss' when trying to sell their 'trade'. These days it tends to be guttering or tarmacing your front drive etc. The quality of the job will be terrible. Other common 'trades' are robbing and scrap metal collecting, often combined.

Geez."Over $100 million is going to be slashed from the CSIRO's budget, so I may have to agree with Dave's answer.

Be sure to include alot of this so the treatment can be done behind every door and the garden as well. That way when it's all someone smells when they go outside, what is there not to like.
