Books I wish someone would write:
"How to convince your wife to let you leave DACTA on speed-dial."
"101 cool things you could do if you only had a sensor you don't
have and 5 wierd little pieces from a discontinued set."
"Fiber Optic Piece: not as stupid as it seems. Ok, maybe."
Man, I was sure I could think of funnier ones when I started this...
oh, well.
