Only (potentially) funny if you've ever used vi
« on: March 27, 2023, 08:32:15 am »
I used Unix almost exclusively throughout grad school and at my first 3 R&D jobs, and my editor of choice was vi.

Spent a good amount of time this weekend working with a Raspberry Pi and decided to relive the good old days by doing everything with vi.  Ah, the joys of mouse-less text editing  :)

Back working in Windows / Office this morning, went to spell check, and found ":w" throughout my document.   |O

   If three 100  Ohm resistors are connected in parallel, and in series with a 200 Ohm resistor, how many resistors do you have?
