Oh - the more something get used, the more chance of damage to it. Simple
probability. And someone who only has a 25 watt mains soldering iron
simply doesn't do much in the way of electronics work. Or is a total fool.

You don't have much wordly experience do you.

Our Usenet Guru?

He has a point, scrap testing for kids, stream them on soldering iron
size. Anyone with a 25W iron and a xtal set under their belt is a
duffer, bung em in with the loonies, after applying a dunces cap of
course.


The good old Solon must now have a warning, "for use by idiots only".
There is the possibility that some 25W irons are not used for
electronics, but best play safe and ensure that only the total fools
are in receipt.

It's an eye opener, I tell you, having hundreds of colleagues and
aquaintences in the consumer electronics field categorised as total
fools. And they seemed so normal too.
