Is there an analog future? There is no future without analog. There is no future without Digital. Considering the 80-20 rule, 80% of what you know is unnecessary, you only have need for 20%. The trick is that you have to know the right 20%. The only way to achieve that is to build a broad base that pursues a 100% objective. Then you will have the foundation for security. Some people get lucky and get by on a very narrow education. Don't count on it. If diversification is a good plan anywhere, it is especially a good plan when you are building the foundation for your future.

Is there a future for analog designers. I know they will be needed, but will the world just require a bright few? What are your opinions? This is a big fork in my life and I need some guidance... :) > > ------ > nomel@techie.com > > If you wish, you can respond to my email instead of the piclist. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > . > -- > > > "If you wish to make an apple pie truly from scratch, you must first invent the universe."
