I've got a ton of Forrest Mims books on my bookshelf -- I was on holiday
on Long Island, NY in mid-2001, and figured I needed some reading
material. Visited two different RadioShack stores and came back with an
armful of books. Think I read the Engineers' Mini-Notebooks
cover-to-cover and simulated a lot of the circuits on my 486 laptop.
Good fun. Shame they didn't have any breadboards in stock otherwise I
might have actually built a few of those projects :)
I'm a complete packrat, and a sucker for anything that looks remotely
"interesting"... as my long-suffering mother will gladly confirm :)
