content: I have just been messaging and emailing some friends, and public stars.I realized watching Dave's first YouTube with the awkwardness of showing the HP multi-meter, suggesting a book to read, in his garage with that brick wall background. Over 10 years??*Back then, I had only a cheap Mastech DMM, a couple of Mimms Radio Shack books. I had a broken, (really professional & cool) VCR, that broke, an SLR camera that had shutter problems, a NiCad motor-drive was no longer holding a charge, and a Sony Stereo Receiver I had been really happy with for 30 years..poofed with smoke and diedThat's a 1,00 plus episodes over all those years!!*When I saw Martin Lorton's YT channel and he put 4 DMMs into a deep freezer! I could not stop laughing and was hooked on his long episodes. I watched him grow from a few items back in S. Africa to his move to Cincinnati, and the last mover and farewell and announce he was selling off stuff to pay bills and move on. I was so sad* Then, Jeri Ellsworth I got hooked on, and her immature espisodes that made her step away from doing YT for yearsOf course,MikeselectricstuffGary Sweeney,several of the Ham radio call sign guysMR. Carlson's laband the awesome Afrotechmoods.Mr.Cassette,Great Scoot!, Julian ILett, !Ohh!!, The intelligent and advanced learning ofThe Signal Pathand PLEASE!! Fran Blanche! and the cute and bubblyDarbon OrvarOMG! YT has replace TV..and even movies!! NOoooo. Ok, my sci-fy friends hooked me onto theGOTseries, andOrphan BlackDave is the only YT channel from beginning to presentI now drive friends up the wall with this addiction, and have my family seriously worried with the growing, (overgrowing) collection of electronic test gear and projects started..So, I am a TV child..was put in front of the TV alone before I could even talk.....SO, how long, how many EEVblog episodes have YOU watched?? What other channels have hooked you? Has your TV ended up in the closet? or perhaps, when friends ask if you want to go see a movie, you decline without telling them that you plan to watch more educational YT videos...Please Share!How have you been growing up with YT?

content: I've watched all of them. I discovered EEVBlog whilst I was recovering from back surgery and started right back at #1, a few such as the one where the multimeter got destroyed were abandoned part way through but the rest were watched right until the end. I've even saved a few that had high-grade technical content such as the guided tour of the TV station.My favorite was the Mailbag with MrsEEVBlog reading the letters and Sagan opening the parcels, a real team effort
