I think that the Internet offers "magic" to today's generation as well.
There's magic in most everything that you find interesting. I'm not sure
which held the most magic for me: seeing that first print come up in the
developer or tuning Radio Japan on the 3 tube regenerative receiver that I
built myself. In fact, I got my first adjustable camera, a Kodak Pony 135,
the same year I built the receiver. Electronics and photography have been
life long hobbies. Over the years I've added some others that also require
expensive toys. Sure thankful for SWMBO who understands boys and their toys.
