As opposed to you, DimBulb; loving his stupidity so much that escape will never be attempted.

Linear as to mean opposed to switching. Not sure where I picked up 'linear' to describe that. It's probably old school. I am pertaining to that layed silicone steel core thing with all the copper windings that plugs into the wall. According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer_types I should be comparing ferrite core with laminate core. Therefore...let me rewrite .. My assertion is that antiqued instruments help qualify them as boat anchors due to being heavier than instruments with an equivalent smps. |
