Maybe some here are interested in how PCB's are put together, this is a walkthrough of a manufacturer here in Sydney that does quality work, this is how it's meant to be done

I have looked at jobs at simmilar plants here, but i often dont quite have the skills they require or some one else outskilled me and got the job.

Allso when i do apply for jobs via internet or personal i am very honest about my skills and even undersell myself a littel as i dont want ppl to feel sad about giving me a job.

Even my last job working the grinding machine,they did know i had not used that education for allmost 20 years and hardly ever worked on a grinding machine.
But still they gave ther temp painter a chance, and in spite of my 1 mess up i dont think they regret that, but sadly i got into a mess with the day too day boss and that sent me into a depressing hole, and eventullay lost me that job.
The new day to day boss in firm know i am looking for a job again, and my former colleagues there now acknowledge what i said about that boss was true.

I have yet to hear some one complain about my skills or the work i do, or the way i handle myself on the job.

The whole operation, not just one machine. Not one energy efficient LCD monitor seen. Just a curiosity to me. I notice things like that. Like going back in time. Is that video 15 years old?

no reason at all to go replacing monitors just because newer tech is out

for the desktop it's worthwhile, for a machine there's really no need

the CRT of mine hadent had driver support since win XP
The new IIyama screen while freesync and 144 HZ, then it is still a pretty basic TN screen, but it was all i could afford at the time.
When i got the 22" CRT all of my friends was at 15" or 17 if they had a big screen, so fair to say it lasted well ( though i had to send it in for repair a few months before warranty expired,,,, probably a blow capacitor )
