At least you didn't blow a bunch of money on CB radios and toasters.
Anyone who did is just plain stupid. I MEAN C'MON, A CRYSTAL IN A TOASTER!? SINCE WHEN ARE TOASTERS NOT JUST A HEATING ELEMENT, A SWITCH, AND A RESISTOR-CAPACITOR TIMING CIRCUIT!?
Guess not too many people have actually taken apart a toaster and read The Art of Electronics.
