Bud:
When you are a child you need things explained in that manner. I take you jump straight to IEEE publications and PhD dissertations when you learned how to read?

Oh I see! His columns published in magazines for adults... were actually aimed at children!!

My mistake.

(The lengths you people go through to defend your heroes is amazing. He sucked. That's all. Face it. No one used a Lancaster computer, or designed a Lancaster topology amplifier, or learned PostScript to program general purpose computing in their printer, etc... He was a self-aggrandizing Wizard of Oz. His "Incredible Secret Money Machine" was... how to fool most of the people most of the time!)

Calm down children. If you have nothing nice to say, please leave.

I am enjoying the sparse bits of this thread between the flame war over something that simply doesn't matter.

Edit: I’m better than descending to swearing.

I don’t know. I’ve found this thread quite useful. As a relative newcomer to electronics, it’s nice to learn a bit of history and lore on the topic from a hobbiest POV
