      I want an oscilloscope for my shop but they're bloody expensive, going to have to save up.

      The one guy here got some Chinese junk one that plugs into his laptop. I think it was like $90.

        For $90 I might be willing to get one of those!

          There is an old one from the late 60s in my parents garage. My father bought it at a school auction.

            @johnhooks aye, they certainly exist in cheap USB form but the quality is so poor I don't know what you could use it for

              THAT's the good stuff right there, probably an old 10Mhz HP dual trace - a beauty and a joy to behold

                @WingCreative Tomato Soup, Tomato Paste. Boiled Tomato, steamed tomato, fried tomato. Tomato Sandwiches, Tomato on Hamburgers, Tomato on Pizza,, Baked Tomato topped with sour cream and cheese, Tomato in a blanket... Stewed Tomatoes, Diced tomatoes... Tomatoes on Rye, Tomatoes on Wheat. Tomatoes in your eye... Tomato Juice...

                Am I missing anything?

                Yes, you missed posting all of that when we had all of the bushels of tomatoes!!! 😛

                Most of the time we ended up slicing them up with a bit of sea salt and balsamic vinegar on top for a side dish to make our meals seem slightly healthier. Caprese sandwiches are our jam so overall it worked out pretty well.

                Never tried baking them though! Might have to get that a shot.

                Fry them up for breakfast!!

                  Big green rectangle with a tiny CRT? We were going to use it to test an old radio for his Volkswagen... figure out which parts are bad or not working correctly.

                        It still works! Just have to figure out how to use it.

                            Ahhhhh man you're in for some fun! Lots of solid youtube tutorials. The stuff you can do with even the old scopes is really mind blowing. Back in the day they got clever to solve stuff instead of today just throwing more processing power at everything.

                                        Had a win 7 installation refusing to go on the owner's personal (old) laptop, it was giving a CD/DVD driver error... I finally realized that the USB installer was plugged into the singular USB 3.0 port (would have been bleeding edge on this 5 yr old Inspiron).... swapped the thumb drive and the mouse.... installation success, mouse won't work at all. Damn blue USB ports.
