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).
As someone who is blind in the eyes of the law (my eyesight is poor enough
for me to be considered legally blind, but I can still see enough to use a
computer and similar) I still intend to learn to solder well.
I have quite a bit of determination...if someone tells me something is
impossible I will usually not believe them. ;)
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.
I can't operate a vehicle due to my eyesight...I can solder to a tiny
extent though! (Just a couple days ago I successfully soldered 3 whole wires to
something! Some of my first experience with soldering...it will not be my
last...It was just a quick little thing, I really should've started on
something easier than trying to make an MMJ->DE9 cable out of a DE9->USB
device)
