my dad tried teaching me morse code. never got the bug. stayed in electronics, though. did a stretch in the navy, got out and BS'd in electrical engineering. Now I work for the Navy on Aegis missile ships as an engineer in computer and display systems.

sorry for hijacking the thread. Somebody doing something with a thingamajig IIRC.
