No - I don't have an Rpi - in fact, I will use it to drive the Sonab OD-11 now in my daughter's bedroom (quite efficient speakers in a not so large room).
My university lecturers were even less use at teaching anything about real world electronics.I do remember one electronics lecturer referring to Practical Wireless to being as much good as Practical Boa Constrictor when it comes to learning the subject properly.
I tended to get that feeling too.

if you look you can get a pdf before you buy it
I'll be in the UK for my annual "MOT visit" in 2 weeks : could someone please recommend a multi-meter & soldering iron (inc solder) to buy from Maplins ?
Great links, thanks, Julf - I will look in at Radio Rotor next time I stop for coffee at Lot Sixty One (which might even be this afternoon)
Edit : my goodness, it's virtually across the road from Lot 61 !
Thank-you so much for your help, Julf : I'm running out of excuses not to get started
