Of course you fail to note that some troll feeders also provide some sound engineering advice on occasion. My filter "simply" (:-) discerns when the normally cogent individual has decided to stray and feed the troll, then deletes that post only. That takes more than Agent's standard filters, requiring a macro (script) to tell the difference. I'm also happy to admit that many of you don't like my politics, but I don't care... in your whole lifetime you'll _never_ catch up to the number of successful designs I've done. So back to your books, and pray a lot to Dear Leader Obama to subsidize your worthless asses ;-) ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | Cranky Old Git With Engineering Mind Faster Than a Speeding Prissy

So prove my magnificently working circuits don't exist by the boat-load. And show me your designs (snicker ;-) Why, oh why, is it that leftists are so ignorant and vocal ? ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | Cranky Old Git With Engineering Mind Faster Than a Speeding Prissy

The boys took me to the Ace Cafe last night after work. This is a different kind of biker bar, more about serious racing bikes than choppers or those things you pedal. It's just a couple of blocks from Zeitgeist and Highland World Headquarters. http://www.acecafesf.com/ I got a pint of Franziskaner, but Mo showed up and drank most of it. Come by and do the rounds sometimes. The bar at Zuni is impressive, too. John

I know but prototyping / repair gets kinda hard. A few months ago I wrecked an FPGA. Fortunately it was a PQ208. Ordering a replacement took me more time than replacing it. -- Failure does not prove something is impossible, failure simply indicates you are not using the right tools...
