Anyone got any idea how I can make one from scratch? I feel like tidying up my bike and it's almost impossible to find one to buy for my bike (not like I would buy one anyway)  If anyone has any ideas then I would be more than grateful to hear them!

I do not know the history of this device or where we got it from. The text on top has an "REL" logo (Radio Engineering Laboratories) and "WAVEMETER CAT. 125 SER. NO. 2041". There are three big coils on the compartment with different amounts of turns on them, and they mount to the screw things on the side. The awesomely cool knob goes from 0 to 100, but spins all the way around...it may have come loose inside. The lightbulb-looking thing has a standard Edison base, but isn't connected, just poked into the hole, I think the socket fell out. It looks like a neon lamp of some sort. There was also a laminated card in the box, a scan is attached. What the heck is this thing? All Google came up with was a court case where someone sued REL in 1934.

I thought i'd build something like this on the basement floor and thus absorbing as much coolness as it can while the attached air volume pump circulates air through the tubing from and to the livingroom above. The question i have is: Does a volume air pump have enough power to push air into 20 meters of hose? I consider using a compressor but it makes a terrible noise and probably does only a few liters per minute.

--- Note --- This is not for any odd malicious purposes, I'm not that interesting, I will be using this to see what products that I already own I could use to open my garage door! --- Question --- Can you name the frequencies (and encoding methods for an extra point) of the following common products? ~ Oyster Card ~ European Passport ~ Barclays Card ~ Mastercard PayPass ~ Travel Lodge Key ~ RFID MicroSD ~ Parking Payment Systems ~ J-Chip Race Timer ~ Ski Pass Give it a go, the highest scorer will get "Best Answer" and a nice virtual pat on the back!

Hello. I understand that this sounds like an unbelievably simple idea, and so I thought it would be. I have successfully written this first code, that detects an RFID tag and sounds a beep, but I am struggling with getting the second to work. Any ideas? First Code -- this one WORKS! Code: /*------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a sample code for RDM630 RFID reader by Spekel(Spekel.se) This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ -------------------------------------------------------------------*/ #include #define rxPin 2 #define txPin 3 #define SPKR 7 char code[20]; int val = 0; int bytesread = 0; //------------------------------------ //create a Serial object RFID SoftwareSerial RFID= SoftwareSerial(rxPin, txPin); void setup() {   Serial.begin(9600);   Serial.println("Serial Port Activated");   RFID.begin(9600);   Serial.println("RFID Reader Activated");   Serial.println("Scanning...");   pinMode(rxPin, INPUT);   pinMode(txPin, OUTPUT);   pinMode(SPKR, OUTPUT); } void loop() {   val = 0;   bytesread = 0;   while(bytesread < 12)   {     // read 12 digit code     val = RFID.read();     if(val == 3)     { // if header or stop bytes before the 10 digit reading       break; // stop reading     }     if(val != 2)     {       code[bytesread] = val; // add the digit       bytesread++; // ready to read next digit       code[bytesread] = '\0'; // add the NULL     }   }   if(bytesread >= 12)   { // if 12 digit read is complete     Serial.print("RFID Detected - Tag: [");     for(int i=0; code[i]!='\0' ; i++)     {       Serial.print(code[i]);     }     Serial.println("]"); //print the whole 13 bytes     for (int i=0; i<200; i++) {  // generate a 1KHz tone for 1/2 second   digitalWrite(SPKR, HIGH);   delayMicroseconds(300);   digitalWrite(SPKR, LOW);   delayMicroseconds(300);   }     Serial.println("Scanning...");   } } --- You didn't even need that but I assume you understand the setup now --- The second code is exactly the same, apart from it contains and LDR that decides whether or not the value it receives has changed enough to sound the alarm and does so, allowing the alarm to be deactivated by an RFID. This does NOT check to see if the RFID tag is the correct one, that is to be written in later. At the moment I get a constant beeping whether or not the RFID tag is used to dissarm, or there is no beep at all. Any ideas?? ^^ Please actually read this before answering my Question!!

I have about 200nos of old audio cassettes and about 100-125 nos of VHS cassette now i am fed of them should i through them all or any thing useful could be thought off?

Hi guys, l'd like to ask if it is possible to make the shutter speed faster (eg. 1/1500 or something)  on the Canon Ixus 125 HS camera. If so, I'd like instructions for it and images if possible Thx in advance 

Well I am new here and this is my first post Well I have build the arduino insect bot from the book Arduino bots and gadgets. It is in the picture. I have it working but I want to add a touch sensor and attach it to the shell. I have an idea on how to build it. I would use a small button attached to the shell with the lie going to analog A0 pin. This would stop the robot by centering the servos and giving it the ability to stop when the shell was pressed down. Now the program is here. #include Servo frontServo; Servo rearServo; int centerPos = 90; int frontRightUp = 72; int frontLeftUp = 108; int backRightForward = 75; int backLeftForward = 105; int walkSpeed = 150; // how long to wait between steps int centerTurnPos = 81; int frontTurnRightUp = 63; int frontTurnLeftUp = 117; int backTurnRightForward = 66; int backTurnLeftForward = 96; // Ping Distance Measure int pingPin = 4; long int duration, distanceInches; long distanceFront=0; //cm int startAvoidanceDistance=20; //cm long microsecondsToInches(long microseconds) {   return microseconds / 74 / 2; } long microsecondsToCentimeters(long microseconds) {   return microseconds / 29 / 2; } long distanceCm(){   pinMode(pingPin, OUTPUT);   digitalWrite(pingPin, LOW);   delayMicroseconds(2);   digitalWrite(pingPin, HIGH);   delayMicroseconds(5);   digitalWrite(pingPin, LOW);     pinMode(pingPin, INPUT);   duration = pulseIn(pingPin, HIGH);     distanceInches = microsecondsToInches(duration);   return microsecondsToCentimeters(duration); } void center() {   frontServo.write(centerPos);   rearServo.write(centerPos); } void moveForward() {   frontServo.write(frontRightUp);   rearServo.write(backLeftForward);   delay(125);   frontServo.write(centerPos);   rearServo.write(centerPos);   delay(65);     frontServo.write(frontLeftUp);   rearServo.write(backRightForward);   delay(125);     frontServo.write(centerPos);   rearServo.write(centerPos);   delay(65); } void moveBackRight() {   frontServo.write(frontRightUp);   rearServo.write(backRightForward-6);   delay(125);   frontServo.write(centerPos);   rearServo.write(centerPos-6);   delay(65);   frontServo.write(frontLeftUp+9);   rearServo.write(backLeftForward-6);   delay(125);     frontServo.write(centerPos);   rearServo.write(centerPos);   delay(65); } void moveTurnLeft() {   frontServo.write(frontTurnRightUp);   rearServo.write(backTurnLeftForward);   delay(125);   frontServo.write(centerPos);   rearServo.write(centerPos-6);   delay(65);   frontServo.write(frontLeftUp-+9);   rearServo.write(backLeftForward-6);   delay(125);     frontServo.write(centerTurnPos);   rearServo.write(centerTurnPos);   delay(65); } void setup() {   frontServo.attach(2);   rearServo.attach(3);   pinMode(pingPin, OUTPUT); } void loop() {   distanceFront=distanceCm();     if(distanceFront > 1){       if (distanceFront         for(int i=0; i<=8; i++) {         moveBackRight();         delay(walkSpeed);       }             for(int i=0; i<10; i++){         moveTurnLeft();         delay(walkSpeed);       }      } else {        moveForward();        delay(walkSpeed);      }     } } I would like to know what line of code to add to receive input from pin AO and center the servo stopping the robot.

I am using a factory setup PSE chaos (whisker biscuit, peep sight quiver usual stuff) I only have a string loop and doinker as accessories.

Hi i have looked for parts for this bike motor and have found a couple of importers as im an ozzy and found im gunna have to pay 125 for a pull start for it yet ive seen the mini motos have similar set ups and have easy start conversions and electic start converstions wich are much cheaper i also want an unrestricted cdi unit wich cost around the same could any1 tell me if there are any mini motos or thumptar parts ect that mite also fit as i no the 110cc thumptar motor was made from the design of the sachs motor for the 125 madass bike so there would have to be something to fit it besides these imported parts that cost an arm and a leg my bike is the 30cc ratary version .

I'm trying to build the K'nex 6'Ferris Wheel. Does anyone know where I can get hold of the steel rod for this Ferris Wheel? Also, I need to collect about 125 Black 7.5" rods. Thanks in advance for any assistance. Jay

I'm going to join two 1.25 litre bottles together for a 80 psi water rocket. Is it ok or should i make it more longer with a third bottle? what should be the ideal volume of the bottle for good efficiency at 80 psi?

Good day, can anyone help please? My 7550 displays what seems to be a computer icon on the left hand side of the screen and a sewing machine on the right. I have pushed every single button, but it won't sew... Browsed through the owner's manual to no avail, disconnected all the cords and electrics, still nothing. The only thing functionning apart from the screen is the lightbulb. Many thanks!

This gun has insane power, mine goes around 125-150 feet on two relatively small rubber bands. i give most of the structural design, trigger and handle to drummerian and his xbow. i have simply made it more powerfull and a little nice looking.

I came across these stylish birdfeeders via Notcot. Abstract, architecturally minimalist, functional... ... copyable. These are welded and painted steel, and presented as "affordable" (although I think it's a bit cheeky to call a bird table "Cheepie" and then charge $125...) - if you need a new bird feeder, have a look at Joe Papendick's Etsy shop.  If nothing else, you'll get inspriation...

Apologies if this is in the wrong area, but I am in the middle of constructing Oomlout's CNC machine and was hoping someone could answer my questions. It's not clear when cutting the Top Beam and Bottom Beam if the 1/4" holes are to be through holes or are .125" channels like the other 1/4" channels. From the pictures it looks like the top is a through hole channel, but the bottom couldn't be.  The bottom says "0.000" where the other channels say ".125", so I don't know if that's a typo, I can't figure it out.  Having never built this before and the channels are not yet cut in the shot of the cutout pieces here https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-Three-Axis-CNC-Machine-Cheaply-and-/step7/Cutout-Pieces/  it's impossible for me to figure out. Getting very eager to finishing this thing, I can't wait to start cutting things! Please help!!! Thanks, Bill M.

I want to have a setup that will keep my batteries charged constantly. I have two batteries, and I live in sunny southern California, so sunshine is not an issue. I was thinking of a 125 Watt setup, but I am not sure if that's what I need.

Hi there,I am aware of the instructables of using cat5 cables for usb extension.It says the max. length is sth like 30 ft / 10 meters.And I found out these are also commercially available.usb cat5 up to 40 m / 125 ftWhats in the housing? Does anyone know?Is it possible to build on your own sth like that?Greetsmoere

I was planning to make a drum machine that only requires two pins on the Arduino and so, wanted to use an AtTiny85v but it gives me errors like: 'DDRD' was not declared in this scope ArduinoBeats.cpp: In function 'void setup()': ArduinoBeats:97: error: 'DDRD' was not declared in this scope ArduinoBeats.cpp: In function 'void playKick()': ArduinoBeats:288: error: 'PORTD' was not declared in this scope ArduinoBeats:294: error: 'PORTD' was not declared in this scope ArduinoBeats.cpp: In function 'void playSnare()': ArduinoBeats:304: error: 'PORTD' was not declared in this scope ArduinoBeats:310: error: 'PORTD' was not declared in this scope ArduinoBeats.cpp: In function 'void playHat()': ArduinoBeats:320: error: 'PORTD' was not declared in this scope ArduinoBeats:326: error: 'PORTD' was not declared in this scope ArduinoBeats.cpp: In function 'void playCrash()': ArduinoBeats:335: error: 'PORTD' was not declared in this scope ArduinoBeats:341: error: 'PORTD' was not declared in this scope I had named the sketch ArduinoBeats so that explains all the ArduinoBeats stuff.

I was planning to make a drum machine that only requires two pins on the Arduino and so, wanted to use an AtTiny85v but it gives me errors like: 'DDRD' was not declared in this scope ArduinoBeats.cpp: In function 'void setup()': ArduinoBeats:97: error: 'DDRD' was not declared in this scope ArduinoBeats.cpp: In function 'void playKick()': ArduinoBeats:288: error: 'PORTD' was not declared in this scope ArduinoBeats:294: error: 'PORTD' was not declared in this scope ArduinoBeats.cpp: In function 'void playSnare()': ArduinoBeats:304: error: 'PORTD' was not declared in this scope ArduinoBeats:310: error: 'PORTD' was not declared in this scope ArduinoBeats.cpp: In function 'void playHat()': ArduinoBeats:320: error: 'PORTD' was not declared in this scope ArduinoBeats:326: error: 'PORTD' was not declared in this scope ArduinoBeats.cpp: In function 'void playCrash()': ArduinoBeats:335: error: 'PORTD' was not declared in this scope ArduinoBeats:341: error: 'PORTD' was not declared in this scope I had named the sketch ArduinoBeats so that explains all the ArduinoBeats stuff.

I am planning on making a very high volume compressor from a small engine.  I plan to adjust timing and stuff accordingly.  I just wan't to make sure an engine can handle the pressure.  I assume it can because of the explosions it can contain but I just want to be sure it can handle 125-200psi.  And also, is 2 stage really necessary or can I just push all the air in in one stage with a couple pistons.

Hello , it's my first time posting here and i hope i have help i have a brushless motor with ESC rated as 30 A max i tried to connect it to a 12V- 125 A power supply but the ESC was burnt i wonder why did this happen ? i was told that the ESC will take the current it needs from the power supply and there are no problem to connect them together can anyone explain what happened to me?

I sometimes take videos on my digital camera, but when I want to send them as an attachment on email, yahoo! limits my attachment to a 25mb file. So how do I do this? My videos are 2 -3 minutes each, but when I check how big they are, they're usually 125-180mb. I'm not very tech-minded, so explain in detail. Thanks.

Hello, I have a Leslie 125 that contains a 20W tube amp and a 12" full-range Jensen. What I want to do is to add a horn to the cabinet in order to get more punch on the high end. I hope to do this without replacing the Jensen, but I will if I need to. What I don't know how to do is to pick a speaker and crossover that will be correct for the 20W amp and the speaker I currently have.  Looking for advice in choosing parts to buy. See image for what I want to do

Hello, today I have a contest for you guys. This contest has a 125 piece limit, TRUE TRIGGERS ONLY, and has to have a mag(no examples I got no mag guns, I'm just seeing if anyone responds) Please post a link to an instructable or photo Of your entry in the comments. After you do that, I'll rate it from 0-5 stars, and the person who gets the rare 6 stars wins(6 because it's normally max 5). And, if you win, you get nothing because I really have nothing to give away. All you get are bragging rights.

My sister brought me home this part tonight from tech crew at school, she says she thinks it came from a fire alarm but were not sure. There are 2 lightbulb sockets and engraved on the metal it says "75W -125 v". Out of the back there are 6 wires, 1 red 1 black 2 white that are going into the large thing in the middle, and 1 black and 1 white coming out of the empty socket. the 2 sockets are also wired together. What is this part? is it simply a power supply with 2 light bulbs? The label says "Lithonia emergency systems on it" "input : 277 at 60hz (wht and black) output:120v 21.6VA (wht and red).

I'm looking for information that might help me find a reactor for my variac setup. I noticed that almost every inductor I looked at has a Henry rating, I'm curious as to how this effects the circuit. After reading up on what a Henry is, I'm not sure I understand what it is exactly. I have also heard of people referring to inductors by their inductance, would they be referring to their Henry rating or their voltage/amperage rating? P.S. My variac is a 125/260v 11A military surplus, for all those interested.

Here's the second bug I've found with the resurrected user statistics report (/you/stats/).  If you choose the option "By Traffic Source", the y-axis scale and detailed numbers get really weird. The first plot below shows the inclusive last-3-months data for my top five I'bles, while the second shows the same data broken down by traffic source. As you can see, the data points are all at 62 and 125 (from which I guess that the first is actually 62.5 :-). I think what's happened is that the data has gotten multiplied by 500/8 before plotting.

On my Honda SL 125 engine on the lower part in the corner, there is this one screw that is preventing me from pulling the whole thing apart. It's driving me crazy. The problem is that it is stripped and nothing I try works to get it out. I also sort of flattened out the lower half of the screw, so that I could try and grab the upper half with some pliers, but that only messed it up further. I've attached a couple of images of the screw if that helps.I read today that gluing a screw driver to the screw with super glue might work, but I wouldn't have thought it would. Any suggestions?

I have 12v ir camera w 80' lead to a small handheld monitor (aquaview) switch is bad i need schematic or diagram info to fix, contacted dealer and was told no info or service option thru them other than a new monitor from them at $125 tot. have searched everywhere but cannot find this info anywhere, suggestions?had to "dremel" water proof case to access once in found switch is fine but several pwr/ground/vid wires disconnected at solder terminal no way to determine what/where, i need schematic info or suggestions.

From the NASA homepage:"Space shuttle Atlantis' rollout to Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida has been rescheduled to begin at 4 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, March 31 [today], as preparations for the STS-125 mission move forward. Atlantis is targeted to lift off May 12 to service NASA's Hubble Space Telescope....During Atlantis' 11-day mission, the crew of seven astronauts will make the final shuttle flight to Hubble. During five spacewalks, they will install two new instruments, repair two inactive ones and replace components. The result will be six working, complementary science instruments with capabilities beyond what is now available, and an extended operational lifespan for the telescope through at least 2014."Link

Alright, so ive been into making all sorts of cannons whether they are pneumatic or hairspray, and recently I've been wanting to build a pneumatic tennisball cannon. i came across halve a dozen empty fire extinguishers, i am still deciding if i should use one as the chamber. i am using an electronic sprinkler valve and a 2 1/2" barrel i am also getting a 12 volt (dc) car air compressor (125 psi) and i am going to incorporate this somewhere in the cannon, the air compressor is really small so i could make it built in. i really want to make this cannon portable but i am concerned about the weight of it with the fire extinguisher tank, Any Ideas?

I am looking fixing up my cars stereo and I am not sure about how to pair a sub with an amp.  I am using crutchfield.com.  I found some speaker I subs I would like to get, they are 12" kickers and there is an 8 ohm version and a 4 ohm version.  They are rated for 50 - 150 watts.  Now my guess was to buy a 2 channel amp (I wan't two subs) and use it.  The one I am looking at is 125 watts @ 4 ohms X 2 speakers.  I read that you may want to buy an over-rated amp so you don't blow it by trying to drive excessive speakers.  Is this an acceptable combination. 

Hello Wonderful, and Creative people, I need your help in achieving the same or similar look to these terracotta/concrete planter, with an aged moss green patina, $85-$125 at HGTV Marketplace Ouch!!! I would like to use these for small outdoor plants! and achieve the same awesome look for less? I would appreciate any suggestions before embarking in uncharted waters. I was thinking of using those Styrofoam heads and cutting a hold big enough to accommodate a flower pot. What should I use to prep for water/weather proofing...paper Mache, shellac, paint and glue moss??? Please advice this novice. Thank -U-much!

So I was riding my small razor scooter to school (the kinds that fold up and fit in a backpack) and thought "it would be really cool to make this thing run with a motor." After I got home, I looked at it and thought of a way to make it work. If you put a small rubber piece on the end of the motor and lay that against the wheel right behind the break with some pressure, you could probably make it go pretty fast. The thing I was wondering is what is the smallest motor I could use and still have it work at about the same speed as me pushing with my foot on the road? 50 watts or so? I only weigh 125 pounds and would like it to work with 150.any suggestions? I would like to not have to use a car battery, with all the balance issues and such.

I would like to use a laser mouse as a sub-revolution tachometer. I know that a laser mouse can discern 1 part in 1,000. Some can discern 1 part in 2,000. If you print a ribbon with vertical lines and attach it around a disk you could expose the laser to the lines and create a data stream. I have already found a way to increase the USB polling rate in XP from 125 MHZ to as much as 1,000 MHZ. Though I have tried to find information on how to proceed with my idea, I have thus far found little to help me move forward. Is there anyone on this list with ideas that mght help make this project a reality? This could be data acquisition on the cheap. Really cheap. :)

Hi guys, I recently installed CHDK on my Canon Ixus 125 HS/Powershot Elph 110 HS (the firmware is 1.01A) so I could have a fast shutter speed.  Upon on testing it out (I used the original script that they give you) I found that it takes an image after the motion has taken place, so I'd like to know how you can make it take an image as soon as it detects motion. Besides this, I don't understand the function of the two settings to change the script they give you. I would be grateful if someone could help me on how to use it. I'd like a way to do it without any programming on a computer or something, a way to do it on the camera itself please. Thx in advance super_me

I have a 1.8 W 125 mA solar panel, and a GP battery recharger. There is a connector that came with the solar panel that fits the recharger. I connected them and did a quick test with a bright light and it lit all four lights without batteries in the charger. Is it possible to connect a solar panel directly to the charger without some other device/inverter between the two and be able to charge NiMH batteries? I have attached a pic of the items including the information on the back of the electrical plug that came with the charger. It says input AC 120V-60Hz, output DC 12V 1.5A. The picture shows the rest. I look forward to the answer and will not attempt to connect these until I know it is safe and effective to do so.  Thank you.

From the Simply Knitting blog: Eden Arts have launched a public art project that’s totally caught our imagination! The Cumbria-based organisation are inviting you to make pom-pom sheep to create a gigantic fuzzy flock – think Antony Gormley’s ‘Field for the British Isles’, only fluffier and more colourful! The aim is to raise awareness of the wonder of sheep’s wool while encouraging collaborative creativity, so make sure you use sheep's wool to make your pom-pom beasties, and invite as many people to join in as you can! To whet your appetite you can visit a flock of 125 of the sheep at Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery in Carlisle, where they will remain till the end of 2011. Over the next few months they’re hoping to increase this number to several thousand! You can download full sheep-making instructions at www.jointheflock.co.uk (and I've attached them below as well).

I have a hoist that is a northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200660033_200660033. I would like to control the hoist's toggle switch circuit which has a LMG CBB60 capacitor (25uF+ or - 5%, 250V AC C40/70/21 50/60HZ). The hoist is 110V, 125 watt output, 1.5 Amps, 1.7 HP with a lifting speed of 16.4 ft/minute. The duty cycle is 10 minutes at 20%. The weight to be lifted is less than 50 pounds. The hoist also has a limit switch.  I would like to be able to specify 15 up/down movements of the hoist that can be repeated. My question is how can I do this? Any comments are greatly appreciated. Please see the attached images of the limit switch and the toggle switch. The toggle switch includes a large capacitor which is just shown on the right side of the photograph.

A WWII veteran friend of mine has donated two shells collected on the battlefield in WWI by his father. Following are some photos of the shells: I have tentatively identified them as 20mm HE shells but would like more information, such as manufacturer and probably use. The first image shows both shells. They are 20mm in diameter, the brass casing is 70mm, the steel casing is 49mm and the head is 25mm. The steel casing shows an A and what appears to be an exploding shell. The other two images are of the bases. The letters at the top appear to be B &S;  but could be something else. I believe this is the manufacturer's mark. The 18 should be the year of manufacture. I have no idea what the 125 on the left means nor the numbers on the bottom which are hard to identify. Any assistance would be appreciated because my friend, who is now 95, would like more information concerning the shells. Thank you. Roger Laplante

I have a cargo bike that is pretty exspensive. I found a small item under my dogs seat . It was not like purposely concealed but I may not have found this thing for a while .  It looks like a  small kids flashlight . It had a blue rubber cover with a happy face on it .But it is not a flashlight . It is about 2 inches long and 3/4 of an inch wide . When  you remove the cover there is a - a meta-dv1 circuit board - a small blue led which was wrapped in a cover that said 125 degrres c on it - 2 lithum cr2016 batteries  Please help me figure this out . I have a invisible chronic illness that caused my drivers license to be revoked. My bike is my life line to the world . I need to know if some organized group of theives is trying to track me.  Many Many Thanks to anyone who can help    

The fact is pictures use 24 bits. It is not simple to use available microprocessors to make a computer at home. Way too many pins Well I think that a z80 microprocessor and two 8 bit presettable counters could deliver a picture with 24 bits. Did anyone really ask for microsoft? What task would you work on? Example number one 1)  computer division : this is binary number division with check in the loop  that you just drew up. The microprocessor only has about 125 commands that you write down.  A command can be as simple as jump to line 0000 0000 0000 0000 . this can be a simple loop that has to be done or the chip is scrapped.  The number 2)  Is there a picture chip like the commodore 64 has?  Find one. An easy chip.   3) Are there any monitors left?  Did any one ask for those  sounds microsoft has ? Most people should have figured out apple computers earlier.
