Welcome back!
Years ago, people who did not have a lot of money usually made do with what they already had. My Dad was one such person. Learning how to save money was very important in those days because if you didn’t, you did not have the items that you needed. He grew up during the Great Depression and so learned to use what was available to make anything he wanted to use. Sometimes, the things he made looked pretty weird.
When something broke down, that did not mean what it does today….go out and buy another one. There was no such thing as “throw away” items. If you bought the thing and wanted it to work, you made it work regardless of how you did it. One day, Dad had put together some contraption that looked a good deal like one of those HDMI switches but had absolutely nothing to do with that at all. He tinkered with it for hours. I remember that because he was not about to let it get the best of him. And at the end of that time, the thing worked!!! We were always very proud of him. But the thing is, he always saved us money when he did these things. Awesome!!
