And I'm waiting in the wings....
one of these days, I'm going to start working for the sake of knowledge, rather than income (yeah, right). I plan on starting with a crystal mfg, as I have always wanted to learn how to design awesome oscillators (OK, I've designed some really scary oscillators, but not intentionally.
250kW current controllers going unstable can have some impressive results ;)An enthusiastic protege, anyone?

I ran a training course last week for techs building one of my circuits. I started with a digital logic tutorial:
"repeat after me: zero" ..."zero" "one" ..."one" "right, now onto the analogue stuff"
It got a good laugh.

Got it (revised ed.). Along with Edson, Rhea, Davis, Schure, Pierce, Frerking, Parzen, Salt, Carr (not that he counts). What I dont have is a decade or so of experience. Working with people who have years of experience is IMO the best way to rapidly upskill.

Aha, 67 shillings, I thought as much. I especially like the "new" unit its now expressed in. Thanks :)
A mate was lamenting the demise of the diabolical numbering system for money a while back, saying it used to be a real challenge when he was a lad to go into a sweet shop, and spend his exact amount of money. unless you were good at mental arithmetic (dare I suggest the emphasis is on "mental"), forget it. That was back when shopkeepers needed to be able to count, too.
I had a hilarious argument with a guy in a vide store a few years back. I got several videos and had a couple of discount vouchers, either $5 or $2.50. His total was $8.50, reached 3 times in a row with the aid of a calculator.
Cheers Terry
