    Hello

    Wow, what a Forum from Farnell [already a 'sporadic' customer].

     

    I have been in electronics all my life - since I was 12, playing with it and doing a correspondence course in Italy.

     

    Then I went to higher school and there were no places for Informatics [ouch!] and I had to choose Electronics, which I liked a lot, but want it to combine it with Computing.

    Anyway, I got my Diploma in Electronics and already started within the TV Repair area, been a Cameraman [a free-spirit one] in Rome for a short time - I was in search of what to do - still searching!

     

    Worked in various Companies doing a lot of Radio Communications [lost all my skills now on this!]  and then slowly changed field to 'SEA' harbours/shore/etc. Data Acquisition and elaboration - I kept maintenance of Instrumentation etc.

    Then got tired and went back to Radio Communications for a couple of years.

     

    Met my British wife and after some years we decided to go to her Land and started a Repair Business in the UK - still here 'surviving' like most of us [I think] - therefore my time has not been dedicated to 'create/invent' and I lost interest in 'pure' Electronics.

    During the years I self-learned computing and now mainly do Windows System UN-mucking, Data Recovery [not at hardware level], Repairs on Tablets PCs Laptops and I am getting into mobiles too - mainly Apple - so, I am re-engaging with electronics - my first Love!

     

    So, now using a Microscope [things are getting smaller and I am getting older!] ... and voilà', I am back and hope to make ends meet!

     

    My best bit? I am good at modifying and making things work or at least I used to!
