Perhaps I did end up sounding a little too harsh.  The point I wanted to make
was "don't learn on expensive hardware."  I started learning with chips and
protoboards whose total value was less than =a quarter= of what a replacement
Amiga keyboard costs...

(Besides, when the guy said 'Beware of programmers with screw drivers and
soldering irons, I couldn't resist  :-)
