Hello All

[AlexCordero]

My name is Alex and new to electronics. I've dabbled in it for many years but always got busy with other things. I'm actually a programmer (C#, Javascript) and have worked with computers for 23 years. I got into it during the days of DOS using a Tandy computer that needed a floppy drive to start. Anyway, I've been around but just never got into the nuts and bolts.

Welcome aboard, Alex.

So you actually know what a floppy disc is - the real floppy ones. Me too
