Electronics, basic stuff that it.

And there in, for me lies the rub. Witness me yesterday at WHSmiths at London Victoria, thumbing through the latest issue of EE.  A fridge alarm project.  Fantastic, should be nice and easy, basic analogue bits and pieces. But no, they stuffed in a PIC12F675.  And right at the end of the article, in small print, "Reproduced by arrnagement with Silicon Chip magazine", an Australian production no less.  Another new project, a boat speed indicator, and another PIC.  The rest of the magazine was digital except one possible item concerning looming cables on audio.  And for this meek offerings they charge a hefty £4.65 per issue.

You could use digital technologies to link yourself to the past.....

See, that's what digital is good for, getting at some of the good stuff!

Cheers,
