Maybe electronics is just too boring to be a hobby any more? Speaking
as=20
an electronics hobbyist, I'm certainly boring...
I've just vaguely remembered another catalogue I used to get, but
haven't=20
seen for years. I'm sure it was electro-something, but I can't remember=20
the 'something'. Maybe it was electrospeed or electrovalue, is=20
electrovalue definitely the RS one?
The catalogue was A5 sized, about 100 pages, the last thing I remember=20
about it was that their blue LEDs were 'only' about =A35, which might date=
=20
the last one I saw... anyone remember? IIRC, the cover had a double=20
v-shaped white line, maybe on a blue background?
A few years ago, I thought that electronics might die as a hobby because=20
components would be too small to manipulate, didn't think the companies=20
stopping supporting it would be the reason!
