I taught at a school for technicians from around 1964 until 1974.

And I've given numerous lectures and seminars (I wrote AND taught all the ICE analog stuff years ago).

I even substituted for Barry Gilbert, when he took ill in 1986 (?, yep, checked my old passport)), teaching a week-long seminar at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, teaching bipolar chip design alongside Willy Sansen, who taught the CMOS stuff.

I offered to teach for free at Scottsdale Community College, but was turned down... no "teacher's certificate" :-(

And I agree with you, teachers have the "fire". I am where I am now because of teachers with "fire"... I particularly still fondly remember Evelyn Truchovesky, my 8th grade Algebra teacher ;-)

Big fucking deal, eh? It\'s not like you figured out the transfer functions, all you did was work out how many watts would be sent to where, when, if even that.

Geez, Homer, it went right over your head, it seems.

Or you're trying to dodge, more likely. What I said was that women liked you (actually, "thought you were pretty" I think was the phrase) because they considered you to be one of them. Kind of like a "Will and Grace" arrangement, get it?

No. Never watched it. I've heard a lot of gays do.

Then you\'d probably enjoy it.

What the hell is wrong with you two??? Are you both just 8 years old? Not only are you annoying everyone who used to read this thread, you are pissing off all the gay engineers!!!

GROW UP!!!

BTW, I hear that you are both really gay lovers and are acting out your lover's spat in this forum. :^P

Why don't you tell us all about it from the gay perspective which you know so well? I'll stick to my preference for shows for heterosexuals.

Sno-o-o-o-ort! Almost lost my coffee over that one ;-)

Gosh, don't you guys ever get bored with this ritual cycle of juvenile insults?

And what's with the homosexual obsession?

I get tired of the insult insult phase of threads (usually found in any thread exceeding 40 posts, so this one started early) but I am reminded of Godwin's law ;)

These folk are armed with keyboards and a news account; do not attempt to approach them; call the authorities and stay well clear ;)

I have taught technicians (two year programs and 9 month programs - no, not that sort of 9 month program) professionally, and the reason they were successful (at least in part) was because I had (still have) a fire inside, or so I like to think.

My point about teaching in general is we are (whether we want to or not) teaching whoever works for us ;)

Let's make sure it's a good education :)

Cheers

Didn't you start it? You two seem to have some sort of gay obsession.

There can be a side benefit... I hired my best technician-class student. He ended up working for me for 30 years, changing employers every time I did, worked for Widlar for a few months in 1968 when I moved from Cupertino back to Phoenix... best technician I've ever seen, plus he acted as my secretary, cleaning up all my hand-scrawled drawings, and I still have them to this day ;-)

Well, I started this thread, if that's what you mean, but it wasn't about any kind of sex. And who is "you two"?

Please check the posts. You are clearly confused.
