I don't understand the skepticism. That OEM bubblewrap means it has to be on the level.
Besides, the outdoors is my freezer for now. A fact that I like to take advantage of every year for an Eisbeer.

Brings up memories of Bahrain and Iraq

absolutely the source of my reference. the gold souqs of Bahrain & UAE & every frickin' merchant in Egypt.

Hurghada, Egypt, part of the "Red Sea Riviera", right after Desert Storm. usually the resorts are PACKED with tourists, we pulled in, the ONLY non-locals in town.

merchants were DESPARATE to sell

"for you, my American friend... SPECIAL PRICE!"

it prompted me to learn the Arabic word for "friend": sadiq

edit: it really is a good idea to learn the word "friend" in as many languages as you can. if visiting a country, also learn their words for "beer," "please," "thank you," & how to ask, "where is the bathroom?"

There is also the noise emitting diode (NED.) It's a forward biased diode with no current limiting resistor. It's a one time use device.

Brew on

Back in my EE days we had a joke. "An expensive circuit protected by a fuse will protect the fuse by blowing first."

Back in my EE days we had a joke. "An expensive circuit protected by a fuse will protect the fuse by blowing first."

In the only EE lab class I took, our group got a circuit wired wrong, and the motor started accelerating without limit. We got it turned off really fast, but it just about got much more exciting than we had planned. I guess the motor exploding would have protected the fuse. That was 55 years ago, and I still remember it vividly.

Sometimes I miss the days of 30K DOS where you could fool around with it with Assembler.

Then I don't.

I watched War Games in the theater when it was first released, but alas, I've never owned an acoustic coupler.

I do have fond memories of BBSs rendering text about as fast as I could type.
