Modems the size of HTPC's, multiplexors, mark-space generators, receivers and transceivers, 44 foot long transmitters (15kv and 20kv), capacitors that weighed tons, 2000 amp PSU's, 625' antennas, HDD's the size of washing machines, killer robots (no lie), mainframes, PC's, Master Carpenter, Master Cabinet Maker, Electrician, but that was just the fun stuff.
I saw ppl electrocuted (not on TV or youtube), saw ppl burned alive (not on TV or youtube), saw ppl murdered in broad daylight (not on TV or youtube), saw ppl killed with broken beer bottles (not on TV or youtube), saw ppl shot (not on TV or youtube)...even saw ppl executed, (not on TV or youtube).
Had a lot of good times, BUT saw way too much shyt for my own good, as well.
First comp was a Heathkit I built myself, 2nd comp was a Commodore 16...not 64...16. Saw 49 of the 50 states (excluding Hawaii), 2 provinces in Canada, been to Puerto Rico, Mexico, St. Thomas, Cozumel, Spain, France, Germany and Morocco
5 diff girlfriends, 9 diff cars and trucks, 7 years in the Service as Electronics Tech, Degree in Physics, learned to code in 4 languages, and turned down 4 hot women who wanted to run away with me but it wouldn't have been good for them.
Was an AAU swimmer for 12 years, and was on my way to the '76 Olympics for the Mile, but the Coach died in a plain crash, moving his plane from one airport to another, so didn't make it to the Nationals to qualify.
/e But none of that, except the Heathkit comp came in the mail, you trying to get me warned?

/ee So, I think I deserve the woman up above, at govt. expense.
