I "got started" when I received a Radio Shack 100 in 1 (or 101, or 120)
Electronics Project Kit.  Its not called exactly that, but the RS guys will
know what you're talking about.  

Its a prototyping box with various components, and a book of projects.   They
vary from a radio transmitter to a LED display driver, etc.  Fun stuff.  And,
you can easily modify the projects or build your own.
