content: Congratulations DaveI am glad I only joined the forum 3 years ago and not 5. If I joined 5 years ago I would be totally broke.I bet a 5 year graph of fleabays increase in electronic equipment sales volume matches the graph of the growth of your blog and forum popularity.Edit: But many thanks for rekindling my long time interest in electronics

content: Dave's first video reminded me of the Simpsons episode where Homer was reflecting on the earliest Simpsons episode... very primitive. It also reminded me of the $7.50 worlds worst camcorder. The EEVBLOG has come a long way and I am sure has given many people a great deal of satisfaction and information over the years.Congratulations on 5 years. Never lose the passion.

content: The EEVblog will be 5, and I'll be 45. I hope the EEVBLOG is around when I'm 90 - it could be trio: Dave, Sagan, and Dave's grandkid. Dave could be like that comedian on the US show "Saturday Night Live.""Back in my day, we didn't have 3D holographic display oscilloscopes. I remember when color LCD screens came out - before that we stared at green vacuum tubes and we LIKED IT!!""Mental intuitive user interface my arse. I STILL want KNOBS!!!!!"

If it wasn't for vegemite and sunshine you wouldn't have survived.Cheers Dave, keep up the great work. Everyone appreciates the multitude of topics on this forum and there are probably a few manufacturers out there that are seriously worried about 1 April 2015.
