Hehe, good questions, perhaps because people are more "scared" of division then they are of multiplication? Perhaps it's efficiency: V=IR requires one less character then I=V/R. :) TTYL ---------------------------------- Herbert's PIC Stuff: http://repatch.dyndns.org:8383/pic_stuff/ -- http://www.piclist.com hint: To leave the PICList mailto:piclist-unsubscribe-request@mitvma.mit.edu
