My point was much simpler. Tony has criticised me in
the past before,
for my poor hardware and soldering skills and my lack of interest in
learning. I merely meant to contrast my lack of interest in soldering
with Tony's professed lack of interest in learning to operate wheeled
vehicles. He has his interests, I have mine, and they're not the same.
Sure.
And if, say this was a photography, or sport, or needlework, or music, or
motoring or... list I would entirely agree with you.
Similarly, if your interest was runnign clasisc softwre under emulators,
I would agree with you too.
However, you have said on several occasions that you can;'t do something
like wirr up a PSU connector, or wire a serial cable, or solder in an IC
socket, or... OK, perhaps to me these are very easy jobs simply becasue
I've neen doing such thigns for over 35 years. And I will accept they are
not easy to a lot of people. There may be people with disabilites that
would make it very hard for them to sodler well (to turn it around, I am
almost tone-deaf, this means I would never be able to play a musical
instrument well, if at all).
But I do feel that anybody who can operate a vehicle is physcialyl
capable of learnign to sodler if they want to. You may decide you don;t
want to, which is fine.
But on several occiasions you have said you cna't do something that
presuambly you want ot do because you can't solder. My point is that my
attiditue to such problems (I want to do <foo> but I don;t know how) is
to start learing how ot do <foo> and practice it until I can.
