Not everything is life is driven by the almight dollar, or the currency of
your choice
Hmm - the less discretionary money you have, the more power to your Boss ...
the Bank, the bastards at the Tax Office and whatever other parasites
insinuates themselves upon your limited hours of life once they smell
weakness - you don't have to be a billionaire but having little debt is
certainly one way of keeping out of slavery.
Thus, to me, spending money only on things I enjoy is a priority.
Some of us like to do things like this for fun, control, education, and
often
it is a lot faster than sending things out to someone else to deal with.
Well, I like getting the results more than the pcb-making part - which to me
is messy, tedious and boring work. Home-brew boards tend to be ugly too,
Mine are anyway ;-)
I would rather be doing something else entirely.
Not every photographer uses a digital camera and the corner drugstore for
everything. Many of us still enjoy the darkroom processes and the
fulfilment
of doing it exactly the way we want.
My point ...
I use alternative energy to power my home, even tho its certainly not
cheaper
than the local power company.
What system do you have?
You see: For me, the purpose of using alternatives would be to reduce my
immediate dependency of a bunch of Islamist Nazies and to deposit my power
bill in a region of the world that appreciate my existence. It actually
looks like a combined solar/furnace system will even cut my total heating
bill, thus increasing my total freedom.
Lighten up and realize that some people just enjoy doing the work for the
sake
of the work.
I'm light all over ;-)
Work is what I *have to do*. I wish to replace 'work' with *what I choose to
do*. I choose not to make pcb's because I cannot met my own standards and go
bicycling instead.
Money is not everything, although its seems to be getting
there......
Money, like Work is a means to an end.
