It was Monty Python, actually, I believe. The skit went on to explain
that a team of translators were working on a German version of the
Joke to use as a weapon against them in WW2. No individual translator
could handle more than a few words of it without risking death. :)

This is what I wanted to sort out, but I don't know how. My initial
though was to add an ammeter so that when the load increases, it
compensates for the, but you've told me that won't work. So now, I
don't know how to compensate.
Click to expand...
You need to alter some of the resistor values in the meter circuit so
that the first red LED comes on at 10.5 V instead of about 12 V. The
LM3914 data sheet explains how to do this, but if you ask, I'll suggest
what you need to change.

Any chance of doing the same but for a VGA monitor? (ie standard 640X480).
It's usually much easier to find a PC screen than something that will

AIUI, Fawlty Towers is popular (or was) in Germany, but they never

I just got this after trying to send an email with an attachment (a
Microsoft download):

"An online error occurred.
Sending email message "TweakUI".
Error reported by Server: 550 Error: Suspected
W32/Netsky virus."

What's the word on this and how can I get rid of it please?

I'm truly sick of NAV and LiveUpdate. As per my earlier post, I
recently used Intelligent Updater and also even reinstalled LU. After
that effort, I had hoped NAV/LU was now quietly working for me. But my
NAV 2002 has not reported anything to me for weeks. Nor has LU
prompted me to get any updated definitions for weeks.

Following this message I ran Intelligent Update again, and it updated
me with definitions dated yesterday, 30th Sep. So why the heck didn't
I get prompted automatically? (I have 'Enable automatic LiveUpdate'
checked in Options.) And why did my *manual* use of LU report that
'All your progs blah blah are up to date'?

I was thinking of using a bootstrap amplifier in stead of the
transimpedance amplifier, Jerald Greame points out in his book that
this increases bandwidth(relative to the TIA) because it lowers the
total input capacitance, Ccommon mode isnt shunted anymore with the
diode capacitance andso for low capacitance diodes this will give a
significant increase in bandwidth. Also because the pole(from Cin) is
increased in frequency you can decrease the feedback capacitor so the
zero is also increased in frequency giving even more bandwidth...

Or using a combination of both the bootstrap and the transimpedance
amplifier.... ,
i was wondering why nobody in here uses this aproach , is it because
the common mode voltage of the resistor to ground is giving an
addition error on the output due common mode rejection ratio from the
opamp?
Click to expand...
There are several serious technical reasons why boostrapping isn't
as useful as it might appear to the casual observer. It's of no use
at all when the preferred approach of using a higher-bandwidth opamp
or composite opamp is employed, and simply degrades noise performance.
