And I say that as the son of a tv repairman.


As a lad I remember my dismay when my dad would take our TV apart to repair it. When he’d ground the capacitor with a screwdriver was spectacular. Back when TVs were repaired.

It was a good job while it lasted. He never made as much money in anything else he ever did. But I never wanted to do it, myself; he used to make me help him and would say things like, “Libwhacker, hold this wire, but don’t touch the red one or it’ll knock you through the wall.” Scared the heck out of me and I never wanted to follow in his footsteps.
