Hey, remember the days of amateurs building radios and .... coming up with neat stuff like personal computers that finally reached the mainstream?

Um. I built a radio.

Aha! You're saying you built a radio in the 50s? A girl? Cool. And you're right, that was pretty unusual. I still remember in about 7th grade taking shop class -- all guys. Then somewhere in there I took the cooking class (home economics? something like that) and caused a ruckus -- first my parents had to argue with the school to get them to let me take it, and then it turned out that's where all the girls were! I enjoyed it. I think I missed the Future Farmer's class or something because I took it, but at least I learned how to cook. And I never wanted to be a farmer, anyway.
