So many good points in there.
When I was around 10, I used to go to a babysitters house after school everyday as both parents were working. My own father was not very mechanically minded, and had very little to no tools of his own. The man who's house I attended every day was a builder by trade, and was into virtually everything! Cars, machining and........ RC boats.
Not being exposed to this at home, I was in awe every time I visited. He had some tunnel hulls and small mono's from memory. I wanted one of my own ever since. Money was really tight in our house for many years, and it was only really until I left home and started working myself that I started catching up on all the things I wanted as a youngster.
I subsequently wasted countless dollars on cars, bikes and other toys as I got older. I'm 35 now, and get a little tear in my eye and a big smile on my face when my 7 year old boy gets a kick out of something I like to play with as well.
I've had to figure a lot of things out for myself over the years, and really think teenagers take for granted the information they've got at their disposal via the net.
Great little story of yourself Marc, and certainly worthy of at least one response.

Great ARTICLE Marc A+
