If making money was the be all and end all in my life I may have tried something like that as well. However, as I approach 50 I can honestly say I am glad I made my living following a simple passion I had when I was 13 years old, which was to truly understand how a radio worked. The money becomes less and less important as I get older, and the satisfaction of having pursued my childhood dreams for life become more and more satisfying.
You can make pretty-big money designing electronics, and have fun all the while.
But the real secret to success and happiness is to marry a beautiful woman who has a good job.

That's very nicely said, Brent -- congratulations on following your dream!
Yeah, imagine being a lawyer or a banker and dying rich. What's the point?

Agreed. There are very few things I can think of where you can make decent money and stay creative for a decent percentage of your time. I can not imagine being a doctor and seeing 20 people a day - yuk.

He wouldn't constantly start the same thread if he weren't a troll. He would design some electronics but he's too dense.
Yeah - he who dies with the most toys wins, right? ;-)

Funny, you're dim enough.
You believe there is a right to publish *anything*, even that which is private. You've said so.
Hear, hear!
I was thinking about that very thing the last time I sat in an "immediate care" (a.k.a. "Doc in a Box") facility waiting to see a doctor. The poor slobs must see forty or fifty people a day, every day. Yuck! A surgeon seems more challenging, but still on the order of a technician.

You clearly have forgotten how delayed sweep works. The sweep is not=20 even on the same trigger cycle. Say alternate trace, just like is=20 typical for multichannel analog scopes (dual gun scopes excepted).
message=20
=20
Really? How much does it cost to do that? If you could back off to say=20
20 kilometers i would not have much reason to find fault. Fiber still=20 does have attenuation and EDFA can only do so much.Sometimes at least, depends on how much and how fast it is coming in=20 or going out.

That's why I asked how it would work with a non-periodic waveform (one-shot, in other words). Modern digital scopes have no problem with such a situation. See my example in ABSE.
To store the equivalent of an Agilent 6000 series 8 Mbyte trace memory would take miles of coax; many miles.

My view on this, as a 'technical' person is: Your efficiency in percent = 100 X (days_happy / days_lived). Or in Larkin speak: 100 x (femto_seconds_happy / femto_seconds_lived).

I have had several articles published in at least five different electronic magazines around the world over the years, how do you stand up ?
