Sometimes it feels that way. But it took years of study and working with
electronics to make that happen.

You're an idiot to speculate that it's that simple.

My expert advise is they should take their broken widgets to a repair shop.

The last case of beer I got from the supermarket had a widget in the bottom
of every can, I took one apart to investigate what a widget actually was and
concluded that it definitely wasn't electronic.

Are you making your site open source and sharing your expertise?
Some of us know our way around a "widgit" but not web programming.
Show us your "how to" guide as an example.

Generally repair capable people arent interested in spending lots of
time explaining how to do uberbasic things. Anything more would be
assuming too much skill from people most of whom wont possess it. IOW
this sort of thing doesnt normally pan out.

To look at it another way, theres only so much you can teach people in
one sitting, and that doesnt come anywhere near being enough to fix
most faults. It takes years to get skilled, not minutes.

Isn't that the new motto of the US Army?

Is the book going to be better than the sci.electronics.repair FAQ. Seems
like it has already been done...and we have lots of places to go now.
