Hey, thanks for the advice and encouragement, Tony.
With my learning
style, I'm kind of enamored with online classes these days - my son's
taking Harvard CS50 (and totally "getting it," at age eleven, btw) and I'm
awaiting Georgetown's Dante/Purgtatorio, which doesn't start for a while.
Just did a quick little search on edx.org and found:
https://www.edx.org/course/circuits-electronics-mitx-6-002x-0
and
https://www.edx.org/course/electronic-interfaces-bridging-physical-uc-berke…
Do you think either of those would be a good start? One better than the
other? Or should I really just be shopping books?
I have never done an on-line course, and have generally learnt more from
books than lectures, but that is probably just a personal thing -- how I
am.
Of tbe 2 courses you mention, the first sound a lot more relevant for repairing
classic computers, but it may not go far enough. It can't hurt to take it, though.
I would look at books _as well_. The more sources of information the better ;-)
