You're asking this on a DIY forum?

Hmmm... let's see now.

Actually, the part about DIY being a dying breed is certainly false and especially about the building of loudspeakers which is and will continue to be the largest part of DIY.

I realize it was a tongue in cheek but I think with a bit of rewrite and a little tweeking we might have somthing there.

Wait, that sounds like DIY.

I suspect I'm an Old Scholar, but the diyer living room description is dead accurate.

I dunno Cal, from what I see, the DIY electronics world is indeed shrinking. There may be a bunch of us, but as a percentage we are way down. Most of the hobbyist electronics magazines have disappeared, electronics programs at the local community colleges are shrrinking, amateur radio is nowhere near as popular as it was in my youth.

Why subscribe to magazines and go to university when you have DIYAudio.com?

I guess I would have to be a Diyer. Mostly because I enjoy and take pride in building something myself. It's all ways more fun to do it, than to have it. BTW, does buying a butane powered, high heat iron instead of food make you a Diyer? Just curious!

In the past three years the radio shack a mile from my house went from selling capacitors, resistors, diodes and all that other neat stuff to hawking monster cables and warranties.

Im DIYer, but would rather be in category 3. Please donate.
