Merry Christmas, Amp Garage!

And a happy new year!

May 2017 be better than 2016.
2015 also, for that matter...

Hi Donzoid. I'm in a similar situation. 62 years old, software developer for the last 35 years. Came back to work from open heart surgery, and a couple of months later, was laid off with the rest of the company. Seems developers in the Ukraine will work for 2 rubles and a bowl of fish eye soup a day...

Re: swiss cheese front panel question

swiss cheese front panel question

So my question to you is: in this situation do I 1. drill new holes in the chassis front and just let a faceplate cove...

Re: Seven Lessons from How Private Equity Wrecked Guitar Center

My local mom & pop shut down 3/4 of his store, moved what was left ( mostly for the local salsa bands anyway ) into the remaining 1/4 space, and leased the 3/4 to a "medical grow" enterprise. He makes more that way, I guess, per square foot...

Re: Open heart surgery Wednesday...

Thank you, Tom.

I was unclear.
The surgery is 10/7/2015.
At an ungodly hour of the morning, too.
Why do they always want to schedule procedures
for 0dark30?
