Transistors

[Crackle]

I feel this mammoth thread has probably run its course now. Some may now know more about what a transistor does and the science behind how it does it, but at least I now know what a transistor is. (I thought I did already) I am not bothered about holes, betas, & alphas.
As far as I am concerned a transistor is a transistor, there are lots of types, some of which do a certain job better than others.
