Some of the more interesting reading can often be found in Linear Technolog=
y=20
application notes.

Quotes such as:

"Toubleshooting - IC Blows Up !"
"IC Runs hot - This means a 75=B0C temperature rise, or 100=B0C case temper=
ature=20
at room ambient. This is normally referred to as hot!"
"High Output Ripple or Noise Spikes - First read the Oscilloscope Technique=
s=20
section to avoid possible embarrassment"
"Inductor selection - Test 1 consists of weighing the candidate inductor.=20
Acceptable limits range from 0.01 and 0.25 pounds"

More humour can be found in this datasheet from Page 22 .......

I have seen similar "commentaries" in IBM documentation.
Just an example when an under appreciated employee slips out of the
harness for a few moments.
Think of it as a "Kilroy was here" flag...
