content: Today I revised my links to other websites where they do electronic related videos and oh man, has been a while since they don't upload a thing.Like Nerdkits, The Signal Path, and some others.Even when Dave was working the upload rate was higher.Keep up the good work Dave.

content: I have to agree and sent Dave an email recently saying that same things. I have been out of hobbiest electronics, due to family and work issues, for almost half a year. Videos are better, plus a nice back log of Amp Hour and EEVBlogs is nice.

content: Hear, hear! There's nothing else out there quite like Dave's blog. It would surely be missed if ever it came to an end. Dave, your ability to ignore all the BS feedback you get is laudable. For every one person who complains, there must be a hundred of us who continue to watch in silent admiration.

content: Thanks guys.I'd like to do and upload even more videos, but there are only so many hours in the day...People often ask why I don't upload a huge amount more videos now I'm full time than when I had a day job. The answer is that when I had a day job, the wife kindly let me work on the videos at night and on the weekend, so I (we) had no life. Now I have my (our) life backDave.

content: Have to admit I got it good..........as soon as I get home from work I'm usually out in the workshop till the wee hours, the wife even getting it ready for me by switching on my heater and lights in advance, then feeding me with beer n coffee as and when!No she's not for sale.The EEVBlog has renewed my enthusiasm for home electronics design..........so thanks Dave!(Gotta admit though, the Arduino is also partly responsible).Ian.

content: Quote from: IanJ on February 10, 2012, 12:12:50 pmSame here. I found the EEVBlog by accident about a year ago. Then all I had was a Fluke 87, now I have all most all the Dave Jones approved lab items and a fairly nice labhttps://www.eevblog.com/forum/general-chat/whats-your-work-benchlab-look-like-post-some-pictures-of-your-lab/msg89814/#msg89814I think some people get this mindset: Dave gets all this free equipment and has all this advertising income he does not need or deserve my financial support.I suggest a different outlook: A lot of effort and money goes into producing all the great video content and maintaining the forum. I hope Dave becomes a millionare from his efforts. That does not change the value that I receive from the Blog and forum. I receive much more value from it than any magazine I subscribe to that I actually pay for. So I gladly Auto send a monthly US$2.00 payment because It is well worth it. $24.00 a year for all the entertainment, education, and fellowship I receive is a huge bargain.Your doing an awesome job Dave! don't let the whiners get you down.

content: Keep fighting the good fight, Dave.And remember Rule 1: NEVER read YouTube comments. Every time you do, at least 1,000,000 brain cells commit suicide in abject despair. The few non-worthless ones are indeed not worth it.
