I spent an hour playing with one and liked it, but not nearly enough time to get good at it. If I read closer, I would have noticed I am not seeing the pictures, so will check it all out later.
Anything that does NOT involve computers/networks is a hobby to me. Otherwise, I consider it work. Fiddling around with the car...and now welding...are just things to relax my mind and get me away from a computer screen.
I do more cyber type stuff at work. My new job involves developing cyber strategies at enterprise levels. Not sure I enjoy it, but it pays the bills. It's funny though...despite being a cyber geek, my car's PCM is completely foreign to me
Regarding the 2% lanthanated, I previously used ceriated tungsten...but got mixed results. I blame it more on operator error than on the tungsten though. Hopefully I'll get better results with more seat time. My current tig setup sure makes welding more enjoyable.
