To me, a 'hobby' is something you do for fun, in your spare time. I suspect a large percentage of this list make their living using their hobby. A true hobbyist probably doesn't have much, if any, formal education or training in whatever their hobby is. They also tend not to have the high-priced 'professional' tools. The piclist members being an exception. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
