Perfectly understood. Thanks!
My problem has always been that I wanted to get into electronics, but all those
resistors 'n such used to have all these coloured stipes to denote the different
resistances and such--
Well I'm colourblind, see, and that made it a little difficult, especially once
the resistors and all the other compnents were spread all over my desk.
So I didn't go into a more fluent understanding of electronic
components--instead I went into programming :)
Anyway, thanks again!
