With every delay new stuff gets invented that should go in there and other stuff is obsolete. Besides with all the information on the internet you don't really need a book like AoE anyway. -- Failure does not prove something is impossible, failure simply indicates you are not using the right tools... nico(a)nctdevpuntnl (punt=.) --------------------------------------------------------------

I spotted AoE in a library years ago. I was flipping though and was thinking. 'yup..yup..yup..know that..know that.. yup...done that.. yup..seen that.. yup.. don't need to know that...don't need to know that too.. yup.. that ol circuit...yup..unlikely I'll ever use that..'. . At the time for that book version ~1998, I found it an interesting book to quickly flip through to spark the imaginary and to jog the memory. I'd read AoE on boring airline flights.

They also had once a year a magazine with nothing but circuits in it. Some of those were jokes too. But nevertheless it will likely all go online only. Just to save trees. And then you do not have to wait a month before the corrections... 'Het lek van Elektuur', the errata so to speak. |
