I've been around here so long I started out reading and posting using TIN ;-) ...Jim Thompson

I did let off a few posts back in the early 80's using a service called "Datex" but I have no idea whether that forum was related to Usenet. You had to go into the basement of a university building. Then you had to find someone with a key to the computation machine room who was able to fire up the machine with all them blinkenlights. There were also a few Juki card punching machines.

Amusing, I'm posting this from TIN right now. I thought it is a pretty modern newsreader, at least the university used to provide some other programs in the past years.

As far as I can tell, TIN is still maintained, and quite up-to-date.

I used it on dial-up, (IIRC) early '80's. ...Jim Thompson

I still like the 2N3819 N-channel JFET. I used it in an audio preamp I built as a hobby project around 1970, and I used it in an analog programmable-gain amplifier I designed around 1985. It's still available from Mouser for 10 cents each, and is still made by Fairchild.

Also, it's first on the list of devices in LTSpice!

If you were stuck on a desert island and could only have one jfet, it would have to be the BF862. Gm is 45 mS and noise is 0.8 nv/rthz. There's nothing else like it.

Big deal, I was just browsing this newsgroup from a TCP/IP terminal.

You've been around so long that you witnessed the invention of tin. ;-)

I have a lot of BF245, only about 6.5 mS, but very nice to have around. If I was to stock up on MOSFETS I would get more IRLZ34N, low voltage on, high current, avalanche protected.

Not quite. Wikipedia says tin plating has been done for "hundreds of years".

I'm still young (at least of mind):

I turn the big 7-0 at the end of this month (actually 17.5 birthdays ;-)

The end of March, "N" and I will celebrate the big 5-0 anniversary! ...Jim Thompson

On a desert island that would be a nice feature to protect you against tsunamis.

You're right, better throw in some IGBTs for the tidal generators!

Yeah, hide behind a grounded gate.

Tell me, how did they first make bronze? ;-)

I believe that would be the fist of next month (isn't that the

Cool...

I had a litte avalanche here today. been snowing and ice-snow, sort of wet snow, after that. Lots of snow on the roof. This moring the nearby church bells sounded, and the sound triggered an avalanche from the roof! Very interesting effect:-)

As the snow creeps down the roof of our cabin, it curls over the edge and does this...

which I thought was pretty weird. But I grew up in the South, where there are no icicles, so it may be common. And I'm easily amused.

Our building codes require flat structures to handle 400 pounds of snow load per square foot, so roofs tend to be steeply peaked.

Every now and then the whole mess on the roof avalanches off onto the ground (and any objects nearby.) That can get noisy.
