I fully agree. Totally off-topic, but anybody here know of a course or books one could buy on basic electronic repairs. Thinking in lines of PSU etc to start with. I've been long wanting to enter this as a hobby project of mine, but I have no idea where to start. I am so stick of buying new PSU or other power adapters, when there is probably a good chance it could have be repaired in a few minutes (only if I knew how). I remember 8 years ago, my laptop charger had a worn wire. You had to wiggle the wire before the laptop would charge. I search high and low in the UK for somebody that could simply replace the cable. Nobody wanted to touch it! Eventually I bought a soldering iron, cut out the broken part of the wire and fixed it myself. It's ridiculous that nobody wants to repair things any more. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
