Eric, Doing a pre-emptive strike of this type deprives the list of the charm and innocence of the newbie query. If you may recall from your newbie days, alot of good can be obtained from ferret investment, such as how to simplify and expedite the process for the next SI/PI topic. Give a newbie a ferret and feed him for a day. Teach a newbie to ferret and potentially feed his mind for a lifetime. I will graciously mention your book and point list readers at a resource where they can parouse contents online and for free. I guess that I am offering book access to those on the list who have no class (so to speak. at least not your class) http://my.safaribooksonline.com/book/electrical-engineering/semiconductor-technology/0130669466 -Michael. We will either find a way or make one - Hannibal In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity - Al Einstein If you think you can do something or you think you can't, in both cases you are probably right - H Ford If you're not getting the results you want with the current approach, move on and try something else. - A.
