Petz and All...

Mendocino 300 will sell at $110
333 for $200

Not a bad deal. AMD better get K6-2 to 350Mhz ASAP.

Petz, <a ceramic capacitor and a electrolytic aluminum capacitor.>
Time traveling for John J.Wang did some damage
to his memory.
It was he who did not know the cost difference
between tantalum and aluminium capacitors, and
confused NP0 thermal stability with low ESR.

Petz,

If you are not the same one who posted me about electrolytic capacitors costing more that ceramic ones, please accept my apologies. The episode happened about a year ago. No one has time to sort through all these posts in the past.

Also, again, please accept my deepest apology for not paying much respect to you. You are more than 20 years of seniority over me, about one generation. From all your posts, I always thought you are 10 years junior to my humble self.

One more forgiveness on your patent, I am still treasuring the discussions we had over the square root function. How did you ever come up with some thing so ingenious like that? What is the seed that triggered the whole thing?

Since you are close to your retirement age, I suppose you have all the right to pump up your investment for retirement. What do you have to lose? I hope you have more investment than 100 shares of AMD in your IRA account.

Oh, by the way, thanks for correcting Ali on my middle initial. My last name is so common. Here in New England, everywhere I go I encounter An's presence. I have even collected several mugs with that famous company's name. And you know how ubiquitous my first name is. The only way to tell us apart is through middle initials.

Respectfully yours,
Time Traveler
