I can do basic math all day long, anything past light Algebra is not going to happen, I just go "Braindead"! I got the basic 4 math (+)(-)(*)(/) functions, after that my mind bogs down. I not saying that I am ignorant, but never did catch up with higher levels of Math.

I am 45 years old, a Military/Govt employee for 24 years, currently as a Computer Specialist, have been in a number of technical/electronics posistions, all without actually being able to go beyond basic math.

So, whenever I get a shortcut to the answer, I take it. For instance, take "Steve Reids" crossover page, just plug in the values, click on the (compute), and Shazammmm !!!! Instant answers!

People often say I am smart because I sit and tweak out a stereo system at their house, but I only take other peoples information and apply it. Nothing more than basic principles.

I want to make that clear, because I want readers to know they don't have to be "Math geniuses", in order to enjoy this hobby, I am proof of that! just listen to others, and you too will learn!!!

But in Lima, I hope to be like a sponge, and take in all those factors that might result in me actually learning how to do the Pi-align/Spice/Boxplot and other math problems/programs, so I can find a way to shortcut to the info. I tried to download those 3 and failed, almost crashed my pc at home(no tech to call and fix, like at work!) so I will wait until Lima and learn how to do it right!

Still looking for audio-nuts to join the "Central Ohio Audio Club" There is nothing official about us yet, Currently only have 2 unofficial members, TillE and Me, and maybe a handfull of possibles!!!

Just e-mail me: rsemega@insight.rr.com

Need someone to help me setup a website for the COAC, nothing fancy, my computer is limited(just like my brain). That way projects could be put on the website for all to see!

Just want to be able to get good people together, and bulld and tweak great audio systems, and then enjoy them!

I have some older audio gear from a audio store here in Columbus, Ohio that shutdown and they sold me the remains, mostly just gutted chassis's that were in for repair and left to die, so I have some starter material for those with little bit of electronics knowledge.

Thanks for the bandwidth, Ron (Your "Bumbling student")
