My HT hobby is actually instrumental in maintaining my sanity although the extent I actually do so is certainly debatable. My wife tolerates me largely because I'm her tech support. I'm under no illusions otherwise. I apologize for any part I may have had with information or suggestion...

I see what you did there. Respect! I've never understood this desire for tactile feedback as we're all used to phones and "soft" buttons by now. Speaking for myself, what matters most is that the buttons are large and bright enough for me to see in my otherwise dark room. I also love the...
