In my junior year EE lab, I still remember one of the experiments, it 
was a digital circuit using TTL chips. My lab partner (who had pretty 
close to a 4.0 average) was all upset. He had done the calculations 
on the current required by all the chips (100 mA total or whatever). 
The power supply was 5V rated at 3A. He was concerned because the 
supply would force 3A though the circuit, damaging the chips.

True story.
