heeeee heh ! he had right ! it amplifies to the left :-))) No Imre, I don't work in educational, but I had helped a lot of students in my life with diploma's exam... and all are funny when are talking about electronics. BTW, acording to those students, any electronical experiment can be done with: one 741 one BC107 and one 1k resistor... regards, Vasile http://www.geocities.com/vsurducan On Thu, 13 Jun 2002, System Administrator wrote: > Regarding question #1, > > do you working in the higher education, right?
