choosing an oscilloscope

Don't forget the ability to mooch or exchange services for the usage of someone else's scope on occasion - maybe someone local to you has one that you could use. I always abused my friends in my old town for woodshop usage, in exchange they got to abuse me for my electronics and computer based electroacoustic software (we were all speaker builders and stereo DIY'ers; they had a couple of grand in their woodshops, I had a couple of grand in my electronics measurement & design stuff). 'twas mutually beneficial.

There is not a damn person around here who even knows what the hell a resistor is; Let alone what the difference between analog and digital circuits. My school doesn't even own an o-scope! THEY DON'T EVEN OFFER AN ELECTRONICS COURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everytime i bug the school board, they just push me away making excuses for why we cannot have an electronics course. My school is more worried about sports than they are about anything else!

I taught myself programming, now i am trying to teach myself electronics...

I have the inverse problem. No students. Most of them seem to lazy to do the work needed to learn to program.
