I think that homebrew electronics is far less mainstream than it was
in the sixties and seventies. Hell, you don't even see kids building
up PCs from boards any more. We won't even talk about the death of
hotrodding.

The only thing that can be gained from building your own PC is higher
quality components chosen by you in the exact configuration YOU want and
no vendor slopware on the hard disk. It used to be cheaper to roll your
own, but if you are just looking for an average PC it doesn't pay.

Dell - or someone will do one cheaper indeed.

I'm running a homebrew though. How many ppl have mirrored disks ?

As for hotrodding, it's alive and well.
The kids are hotrodding the rice burners these days and it is extremely
popular, at least where I live.

I thought it was just rich kids paying the ppl with oily hands to do it for
them ?
