Along with mixing random liquids and powders, i also had a passion to disassemble high tech gadgets.
at this time i was about 9yrs and the year was 1981 and phones where big, heavy things with a big round dial on them for dialing in your numbers (no buttons back then). at first, i really wanted to build a robot(which at that time was a sci-fi item) but i knew, even at that young age, that a phone would probably only make a bomb, or something like that, but i would never know until it took the thing apart! about 2 hours into it, my parents came home to find me at the kitchen table with the families telephone in about 200 pieces and big smile on my face. that smile did not last too long, back then phones were leased out but the Bell Phone company and this one would cost my dad several hundred dollars to replace.
