forum + forum = forums :D

At any rate, I like to program interfaces for electronics, but I despise wiring. In fact, I went through my whole Grade 11 Computer Engineering course without wiring a single circuit! Awesome, no?

It's not my major, but I do a bit of it. Did you have a question?

Actually, Overkill, forum + forum = fora, like Crazy said. (Yay Latin)

But, Crazy, it's 'soldering', not 'soder' ;)

Hello. I was just asking speculatively. That image I included in my post is something I scanned myself, from a manual for constructing an organ from a kit. Y'all can read the copyright date yourselves. Thanks for answering in the affirmative, basil and crazyazngamer (I hope that's correct).
If anyone cares, my 'current' 'project' is a little board with a microcontroller to take the output from a ps/2 - type keyboard (IBM, not Sony!), and produce a MIDI-out signal. It's at http://borg.com/~jglatt, in the hardware project section.

It seems that a soldering iron burnt a hole through my brain. =(
I should solder the wound shut immediately.

Er... right. 'Forums' is just the one I've grown accustomed too, not having much Latin knowledge.

And, I like how it says 'Special Transistors'....

That is a lie of the basest sort! 'Fora' is correct, though you'd be much better off using 'forums,' since the word has been absorbed into English and should thus have an English plural, and since people will assume anyone saying 'fora' is a pedant.
