[ale] OT - Hobby - Breadboard Kits

[Nathan J. Underwood]

Ok, this is very OT, but I don't know of anywhere to go that I could get 
better advice.  I have to get a hobby (long story, we'll just leave it 
at that), and I've been searching for something that can keep my 
attention.  I've got some background in electronics (Army, and DeVry), 
and really enjoyed tinkering with little breadboard kits.  I've not done 
anything with them since, but would like to (this could be my new little 
hobby).  Anyone else into this, and able to suggest anywhere to purchase 
the little kits?  It would probably be a good plan to start out small 
(until I get over my fear of signs that say "Warning 10,000 Ohms"), and 
build from there.  I saw an episode a few months (may have been years, 
don't really remember) on The Screensavers where they were all building 
these little kits, and it's been a background process of mine ever 
since.  Eventually, I'd love to get to building little [useless] devices 
that I could operate via the serial port on my *nix box (ok, now it's 
maybe not TOO off topic B) )
