-- Not true, and your attempt at sarcasm/derision was noted from your punctuation and since there was no eroteme at the end of your last sentence. John Fields
You really are stupid, Fields. It was a statement and as such is punctuated correctly.
-- In that case, your *never* is unfounded, since I've often made mistakes. As Dr. Sloman has often stated, (and I paraphrase) your lack of comprehension of the English language and its subtleties/vagaries, puts you at a distinct disadvantage when you're trying to defend a position which you believe to be tenable. John Fields
Indeed.
I don't think I've ever intimated that the 555 is a panacea, but the fact that it's extant, even today, is astonishing.
There are, of course, other paths to follow, but the 555 and its derivatives don't seem to giving up the ghost anytime soon.
John Fields
What's clear is that you're stupid.
There is a lot of similarity between you and Slowman. That's for sure (like, joined at the hip).
-- "of my assertion" ? If interesed in following your posts, one has little to do but to wait until you slip the noose about your own throat and wait for the trap to be sprung. John Fields
-- That may be true,but it seems to me that you're always the one who resorts to ad-hominem attacks when you run ito a wall because of the paucity of logic and reasoning at your command.
More depressing than astonishing. More legacy designs by legacy designers.
They do seem to be zombie components - if you don't think about what you are doing, the same old solution is always the obvious way to get the job done.

Your endless, pointless, topic-free squabbling degrades this newsgroup.

My > >>>>>>>>>personal likes and dislikes aren't highly relevant.
Krw's perceptions are rather restricted - everybody who doesn't share his i deas is lumped together beyond the pale. The sane majority, from my point o f view.
Which is a rather pretentious way of saying that you don't find it interest ing. Tough.
Your habit of posting links to denialist propaganda isn't all that appropri ate to an electronic design group either, and the rest of us have got to pu t up with that.
Get used to the idea that this is an unmoderated usegroup - you've been exp osed to it since at least 1996 - twenty years now - so it's a bit late to c omplain about it now.
-- Bill Sloman, Sydney
-- You should get out more. Young people who don't want to, or haven't the resources to jump into the digital world will often opt for a pragmatic 555 solution, and there's nothing wrong with that, as attested to by the huge and actively moving stocks of 555's available, worldwide.
Nonsense.
This group is still healthy, regardless of how much you may want to wish it to fail and fill your coffin.
John Fields
LOL!!! I actually had to laugh out loud when I read that. Pot and kettle... lol

I is true and, no, I'm just stating the obvious.
At least you admit that you're Slowman's identical twin.
You really *are* stupid.
So you don't even read the posts you respond to. Figures.
The 555 isn't a "pragmatic" solution. It's the non-design solution - copy something that worked, even if it's decidedly sub-optimal compared with what you could do today.
I'm sure it happens that the 555 is the best solution in a few - very specific - situations. That's not what's moving most of the 555's off the shelves.
-- Bill Sloman, Sydney
-- "I is true"??? Perhaps "paucity" is too generous since you seem to be your own worst enemy.
-- Then "of my assertion" is proper English grammar?
