content: Strange too, how there are 8 categories for 8-50, and anyone over 51 is lumped together.I presume the OP is under 50!

content: Ah well , yes the artist make the mistake about the 35 ,there is no edit option for the poll.If you are 35 vote at the 36 group , you will became 36 sooner or later ..About the 50+ , I had in mind that experts in the age of above 50, they are not considered to hadlackof knowledge in most areas , and they can follow easily any subject of conversation.Edit:

content: Again, voted "36-40", although I am only 35 in august. However, I don't think that age is a very good indicator what EE subjects can be discussed and what can't. I have noticed that the "old farts" seem somewhat reluctant to learn new thingsRegards,Janne

content: well people get into electronics at different ages and also work at different things and get into electronics, age is no factor at all, I was helped to program a microcontroller by a kid 10 years younger than me who has done more as a hobbiest than i ever have

content: don't be silly kiriakos, I don't think this is an age issue although I'm well aware that in greece like in all mediteranian countries safety is not very well looked after and i can say that after 14 years of growing up in Italy and rewiring a couple of houses, one of which we cut the power to on entering and did not even try and use the old electrics but installed our own

content: Quote from: Kiriakos-GR on May 02, 2010, 06:27:26 pmYes my spelling is not perfect but your does induce misunderstandingWell not to put a too finer point to it i did not consider a mains system with a main switch that had the fuse wire replaced with wire and left hanging out of the window in the rain safe !indeed for a couple of years at a time only 2 houses in the town were probably wired correctly and safely (infact although in Italy you could only have up to 3-4.5 KW our mains system would have easily handled 6 KW) in the UK electrical safety is a big issue because unlike mediterranean countries many homes use elctricity only for all the heating and cooking so high power consumption and management is not uncommon

content: The last years in Greece the big change are the ... natural Gas ... everywhere or almost.The biggest problem starting to be the air conditions ..Five years back the market got full of cheapys that uses lots of energy , many poor people got them,because there was cheap .. No one informed the people about the specs ..The last two years , that the electrical network fall at it knees , the government it self started one campaign on TV , about the benefits of the electrical Class A.As about me , I still have one large fan spinning over my head (ceiling) .If I ever get one, it will be Mitsubishi.Every summer there is about 45 really hot days in Greece, if you survive with out air condition,then you can stop thinking of it , until the next year ..

content: which Italian job are you talking about ? the one done in the 60's is the only one that deserves that tittle in my opinion. There are a few good hobbiests in Italy and i get the impression that those that get into it are very good although fewer are interested in electronics, but then getting parts is the next thing up from impossible
