      There is an old one from the late 60s in my parents garage. My father bought it at a school auction.

      THAT's the good stuff right there, probably an old 10Mhz HP dual trace - a beauty and a joy to behold

      Big green rectangle with a tiny CRT? We were going to use it to test an old radio for his Volkswagen... figure out which parts are bad or not working correctly.

        I want an oscilloscope for my shop but they're bloody expensive, going to have to save up.

        They sell them at Fry's.

                Ahhhhh man you're in for some fun! Lots of solid youtube tutorials. The stuff you can do with even the old scopes is really mind blowing. Back in the day they got clever to solve stuff instead of today just throwing more processing power at everything.

                            Had a win 7 installation refusing to go on the owner's personal (old) laptop, it was giving a CD/DVD driver error... I finally realized that the USB installer was plugged into the singular USB 3.0 port (would have been bleeding edge on this 5 yr old Inspiron).... swapped the thumb drive and the mouse.... installation success, mouse won't work at all. Damn blue USB ports.

                                      As someone who's had to explain logging on to a local user account for domain-joined laptops all too often... I've found that telling people to use .\$username instead of $computername\$username can be a bit easier to remember and might help in preventing them from having to write down the login info!

                                        Just got home from a nice dinner with the family. It went from hot and sunny when we left to downpour by the walk home. Family is drenched.

                                          I dropped off the family and I'm heading back into the storm to go to the panaderia for dessert for everyone.

                                            Oh, he uses it for production work.......

                                            He had the software on a windows vista laptop, he upgraded to 7 (this was all before I got there) and it wasn't working. He asked me if I could find any info for him. I went to their site, it's all in Chinese.
