My sob story entry:
I started college in 1994 for a Associates degree in electronics(AS EET). I have Narcolepsy(its not exactly like it is in the movies but still sucks balls) so it took a very very long time. Medical advances finally made life manageable enough to let me finish in 2015.(No one appreciates the theme song to Star Trek: Enterprise more than me, lol) Anyhow, I'm still in school, this time learning 3D printing and design. I hope to wrap it all up and make gadgets or something, maybe even a cubesat. I imagine myself maybe teaching to make ends meet, hopefully soon. I really need a modern oscilloscope to make a go at a side bushiness I'm trying to get going repairing electronics. I'm really doing the best I can, I don't have as may hours in the day as most people and worse the hours are rarely consecutive. This scope is just the kind of "ray of sunshine" I could use these days, although "stuffs getting better, stuffs getting better all the time". I saw several good sob stories, I don't envy you you will have a tough choice on your hands.
Cheers!
