That's simplifying it a bit. It wasn't particularly accurate because it didn't really take into account the fire-proofing that people had done to their properties while insurance companies were planning to use it to set rates. It wasn't meant to be used the way it was.

    Ah. Well, we had those types too back in the day. Hopefully he gets the help he needs. If not then there's still a chance his motivation will overcome his diagnosis, but I'm not a childhood ADHD expert. I only work with adults for their meds and such.

    Can I ask how old he is? I was doing that when I was like 5 or 6. But I was born in the '80s so I had a parent that could teach me and let me figure out the rest as it came. Also helped we had color-coded RCA jacks and I could reach magazines and manuals by the time s-video was common enough.
