   @tkinias @nyrath on the other hand they did give you a very accurate idea of how well electronics works

     @nyrath
     I got a toy circuit-board setup as a gift somewhere around 1980. It was kinda crappy, though, and most of the things it came with instructions to build simply didn’t work.

     I sometimes wonder how my interest in electronics might have developed differently if my first experiences as a kid had been with a kit where the circuits actually worked.

     I built the goofy-light kit when I was a little boy
