Seriously, John, I know it's really impossible to be an expert in all areas
of electronics any longer. Personally, I've become an expert on DSL and
transmission systems, but isn't being an expert on just one particular chip
narrowing the field just a little too much?
I'm not going to go into any easy quips about how easy it must be to boggle
your mind, but surely, if I need to use a 555 or 7555 for any purpose, the
information is all out there in the net. I just, honestly, don't see the
point in not broadening your horizons.

Shirley you jest.
What with the introduction of the new 7555, so many possibilities have
opened up which were not viable using the classic workhorse 555 that it
boggles the mind.
