Just out of interest: how do you test this? 100.000 minus 2 orders of magnitude is 41 days, that's testable (with some patience), but how do you test 410 days? Or are there known relations between lifetimes at various currents? -- Wouter van Ooijen -- ------------------------------------------- Van Ooijen Technische Informatica: www.voti.nl consultancy, development, PICmicro products docent Hogeschool van Utrecht: www.voti.nl/hvu -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
