Well default, Though 'default' is not much of a name, I tend to agree with you. I only learn by making mistakes, and if you've stopped making mistakes.... well then you've stopped learning.

Or yours. This will shock the kiddies, but it *is* possible to design circuits without using Spice. Usually it's faster and better. John
