Steve,

You put it nicely.

All this **##&&& information explosion has only made people ( read students including my son ?) more and more lazy. The art of trying-failing-correcting-succeeding is unfortunatley one that belongs to the 40+ ( I am talking about age ) crowd - give and take a few years. OK somebody feels like flaming - please go ahead. Its MY opinion and I will stand by it.

Have a project ? - post it in a forum .

Circuit doesnt work ? - Google.

But never try to do it and LEARN. Sigh.
