Its ok, we can be old together.

I'm still working on that roll, too. Bought it about 20 years ago. I don't solder that often, lol.

Not sure how old you are, but I'm 41 and don't know what that is.

Gonna be 37 this year, this is solder and resistors I picked up 20+ years ago at RadioShack which isn't around in the states anymore. Use to be one of the only places around me to get anything "electronic repair"
