| Where have you actually come across a 555 timer in the wild? |

| Gyro:
Fan speed controller in Instek bench PSUs. P.S. I think it still gets 'typecast' as a timer, whereas a couple of voltage comparators with tweakable threshold resistor chain, a resetable flipflop and a strong push pull output stage in a single package is a gift for a cunning low cost designer. |
| CJay:
They're used in some of the HP Storage array cache battery charge controllers. |
| RobK_NL:
In the PSU of a Keithley 2001 |
| tautech:
Nobody's mentioned kitchen toasters. :) |
| Rolo:
In my Philips outdoor lamp with dusk sensor. |
