> Maybe I'll write that article after all. Who's left to publish it? And who's left to read it? I am reading fewer magazines than I was 10 years ago, and I don't think lack of content is the issue (I wouldn't know, since I'm not reading them). I feel a lot busier now, and it seems there are other more convenient sources of info. I don't need ideas about 203 things you can build with a 555 timer, a 741 opamp, a 2N3055 power transistor, and a 16F84. And, I can certainly do without 3 pages of ads that the 1 page article is contorted around, not to mention those annoying inserts to subscribe to the very magazine I'm already subscribed to, else I wouldn't be reading it. ***************************************************************** Embed Inc, embedded system specialists in Littleton Massachusetts (978) 742-9014, http://www.embedinc.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
