And sometimes if someone has a really really nifty sounding project some random Field Apps engineer might help someone out once in a while  P.S. If you buy a multimeter, buy a flukemeter. Anything Fluke, just get a fluke. You will not regret it. Skycks posted:Would something like this be a wise investment for a starter bench power supply? I'll probably get flamed for this by some metric, but honestly I think the best thing an entry level person can do is to pickup one of those cheap 13.8V 5A bench supplies from Fry's for $25. It's wide enough to let you use a 7812, 7805, or any of the multitudes of LDOs and other Linear regulators. Additionally it has enough juice to drive a beefy switcher and not panic at the initial inrush/surge. A novel noob may even figure out how to get +/- 6.0V from such a beast without ever using a switcher
