    Nah, purely resistive loads in that class. Was pretty basic since it was a required course. Electronics in high school, an elective… yeah there were some dipshits that earned the Sparky nickname.

    Now tech school, where we were left unsupervised for lunch… yeah there were a lot of blown out voltage regulators from using our hand-built power supplies to pop capacitors in various ways and degrees of safety. What can I say, some guys just love the smell of burnt peanut butter.

      Did you also have the group that had competition to see who could hold hot glue the longest, wacked eachother with metal rulers held over bunsen burners, and snorted citric acid when you made sherbert?

      I had some of those in my school too…
