Talk about dejavu (other than the private/home school parts).  I wonder
how many others on the list started much like Tony!  I remember my
favorite playthings were extension cords and those dual-y-type
light-sockets that you could screw together into huge contraptions.
Later on, anytime the lights dimmed ('cause of a brown-out), my parents
always knew I was working on some project in my bedroom.
