That quality of overstating the obvious. ;-)

I wonder what they send bck to china in the containers? I cant imagine

We send them all the junk the EPA won't let us burn.

I just bough a DVD-player for one of the children - DKK 339 - or about USD
60 at today's price.

Here in the US, cheap DVD players are typically found in stores for $30-$40.
$35 is easily obtainable during holiday sales without the need for rebates
or other gimmicks.

Then I would like to know why Wal-Mart's price on DVD/CD players
(Apex) is still $79 US. Are they dicking these small towners around
because there's no competition.

I don't care how many butterflies flap their wings in Australia

I think most people agree, well some of most would.
Hmm ... this is perhaps somewhat difficult to test. Isn't July
midwinter in Australia? How many butterflies (outside of enclosed
environments) are likely to be around to flap their wings? :)

Enjoy,

Money, of course. ;-)

OUCH!

At least as far along as QNX4 (the last version I used), the only
relationship between QNX and unix was deliberately superficial. QNX used
the superficial appearance to unix to ease transition of programmers to
QNX, and used a completely unrelated substructure to gain reliability,
speed, and real-time response far beyond anything any "standard" OS is
capable of.

A similar self-hosted system is OS-9 from Microware; there are many
cross-hosted systems that are supposed to be about as good. I only have
direct experience with QNX and OS-9, though.

I made the same experience. After buying AoE I was disappointed with it and
wrote an Email to Win about his claim to teach electronic design with this
book. In contrary to Tietze-Schenk AoE represents an unconcise collection of
circuits from different sources, but missing is the red thread going
through. It might be of value for the average hobbyist, but there is no
didactical value IMHO.
Of course there's nothing didactical about AoE; electronic design is
an art.

May well have been toluene. It was often used as a cleaner in all sorts
of
areas, some as pedestrian as the T/R/S plugs on old lamp-signalling
telephone
switchboards. Unfortunately proved to be a carcinogen and was banned, but
it
WAS used to clean a myriad of hardware in a myriad of situations.
It might have been carbon tet (tetracloride or however it is spelled). I
think it was taken off the market because of either liver or kidney failure
if the user had been drinking .

I agree, if you buy the student manual as well. Without it, the largely

maths.

Along these lines, I have one suggestion for Ban, get hold of a copy of
Peter Dunn's book, "Gateways into Electronics," ISBN 0-471-25448-7.
People seem to be chucking that book at 9.99 used- that's not a good sign.

I have just ordered one at 9.99$ which is of course doubled for shipping.
Nevertheless seems to be a good advise and with the low Dollar quite a
bargain.
THX win. BTW I looked in vain for my original mail, must have been last year
September, I do not remember exactly the words, but it was certainly *not*

Three comments:

Please make sure that the binding is as good as the last edition.
I have seen other technical books cheapen up the binding, and AoE
is a reference that I use a *lot*.

Give extra care to the list of commonly-used "jellybean" components.
At least one major electronics manufacturer uses it as a checklist
item for design reviews; you can use other parts but you have to
have a reason why. You might even want to think about posting it
in sci.electronics.design and asking for comments.

I think it should be Horowitz and Hill on even numbered editions
and Hill and Horowitz on odd numbered editions. :)
 
Other than speed, is there any difference between a 465B and
a 475/475A that I should know about? I am looking for a
replacement but I want all or nearly all of the knobs to be
the same.

Well, STR relies on the *axiom* that physics is the same for all
inertial frames.
But is the axiom itself science or philosophy? It can be considered
self-evident, on the grounds that different inertial frames aren't
distinguishable by, say, colour or odour.

putting the Transistor Man in concrete galoshes
That's much too deep for me. And I can see two problems:

1. You can't solder to concrete;

2. For one transistor, it should be 'discrete' anyway.
