Makes me think back... I didn't get my first computer and internet till 2000. Before that, figuring out how to fix certain problems took a lot of time. I couldn't just get on the internet and ask several people at the same time what to do. Just had a small handfull of people to rely on. I had to look for old books in the used bookstore and occasionally stumble across a set at a thrift store or antique mall. I found my first roundie in Southern California back in 99. I wanted it bad... it was a 64/65 Zenith... but had to pass because there was no way to get it in the back seat of my 67 Galaxie... and trust me... we got out the measuring tape! It was close!

Later, after discovering this place, my first thoughts were, "OMG! There's other people that do this? These people have so much cool stuff... and they know how to work on it!"

Today, all I can say is thank God for the internet, for those that originally thought up this site, and for all the great people that have been able to come together to share knowledge and experiences!
