Will O asked:


I need to buy a small (like, 5 inches) LCD screen and don;t know where to look. Is there a good electronic PARTS (not like best buy or something that sells whole, prebuilt electronics stuff) store online? Maybe like radio shack, but cheaper and witha better selection? I also looked at allelectronics but I want to know if there are other alternatives. The parts I need seem to be hard to find, the more options the better.

My Oregon Scientific outdoor electronic thermometer sensor stops working when wet. I’ve tried to keep it dry in zip-lock bags and Tupperware, but moisture always seeps in.

Any ideas?

What has been your experience with electronic air filters?

Wolfy asked:


I use a Timeline brand CG-1000 electronic air filter in my air handler. Electronic air filters, as opposed to electrostatic ones, filter air using a charged electrical grid plus filter pads.

I found mine a bit of a struggle to replace, but it has kept my coil completely clean now for 3 years. I just vacuum it monthly, and change the pads about every 3 months. I had to replace the filter assembly after 3 years as the thing failed on me.

I would like to hear your experiences.

I currently play bass, and I’m learning piano. Soon after or even at the same time, I’d like to start making some digital/electronic music and was wondering where I should start? What equipment/programs do I need? I’d prefer something a bit cheaper and easier to use at this point, seeing as I’m a complete novice. Any advice on the subject would be much appreciated. Thanks for your help!
