I spend about equal time at ETO and AAC.

Yea but does anyone spend any time at Electronics LAB?

Hello,

I spend most time here at the AAC forum.

I am also active on the dutch forum "schakelingen online" :
http://www.elektronicaforum.nl/
(I do some moderation over there).

And I am active on the electronics part of the "project dalek forum" : http://www.projectdalek.com/

Greetings,
Bertus

Isn't that the place with phony projects that cannot and do not work under any circumstances in this or any parallel universe? If it is I think you need to be on a mission to go there - LOL

For all the right reasons this Is the best site.

I don't exactly know the history of ETO but AFAICT it is about a year older than AAC - Summer 2002. AAC went live in May 2003 with the e-book and we added a small support forum later that year. In 2006 we moved to vBulletin and expanded the forums. Since 2006 we have grown the site and content dramatically - many new sections of the e-book, Socratic, Videos, as well as vB-centric features Blogs, Albums, etc.

That is correct. It doesn't help that the "colours" for each site are both blue.

We share many members across each site, and aside from the subtle similarities I hope each site offers something unique to its members.

One site is like a finely tuned Jaguar; the other is like a Ford pick-up with overload springs. Either will get you where you want to go, but the ride is a little bumpier in the pick-up.

I'm members on both but I rarely post at ElectroTech. I like the personalities of the prominent members on AAC more than I do on ElectroTech. Plus AAC has an e-book, now ya can't beat that now can ya?
