I wore a tie yesterday... I wear ties to weddings and funerals ;-) ...Jim Thompson

...and I have a strict limit of one per year.

It's what you use to select options, such as the static inputs to address decoders, on a board.

The thing that holds cables together.

I bet you're talking about the package. I had one of those mil-spec ones with the gold pins and the quartz lid in a metal frame that I unsoldered, then unsoldered the chip from the bottom of the package and threw the package away - I had a naked chip about 1/4" square, that was surprisingly not very easy to solder the (gold-plated) post to the back of. And its corners were sharp enough to draw blood. >:->

Cheers! Rich

Well, it was "My Tie Pin," so I wore it every time I wore a tie. It got lost in the shuffle a few years ago when I essentially lost the job and eventually everything else; I haven't had occasion to wear a tie in a while.

The weird thing was, absolutely nobody commented on it. Zero! Even once when some lady complemented me on the "exquisite" tie I was wearing that day, which was an Xmas gift from Mom & Dad, she didn't mention the custom-made silicon chip tie pin. )-;

Thanks, Rich

It's a thing that holds your tie close to your chest and keeps it out of your soup.

It's a silk, polyester, or other fabric noose worn like a cravat to identify your ranking in the heirarchal rat race and making hand-to-hand combat a losing proposition.

Hope This Helps! Rich

Ah, yes, more's the pity! (they're quite far and few between, these days.)

But did you know that in Korea you can get sun-dried lizard on a stick? (the sun-dried squids don't need the stick.) ;-)

Cheers! Rich

Well, one thing's sure about Palin - nominating her for Prez would guarantee another four years for Our Glorious Beloved Infallible Commissar.

Hope This Helps! Rich

Is that a tie stick, or a Thai-stick? They seem to be still selling in California.

...and a voltage divider with TWO taps, that's complex!

I'm almost sure he was going for the pun, and yes, I have had Thai stick, but I fear it might be prohibitively expensive domestically.

Thanks, Rich

I just looked up your part. Are you thinking of doing the 'G' metal can package or the 14 pin DIP? Looking at the photos of the 8 pin DIP

G=B2

Don't you remember that several years ago, while redoing the barby, I bought a hydraulic lift table :-) ...Jim Thompson
