Hill has been strangely absent for some time, working hard on it I
guess.
Cheers

Nice to have a PDF to go with the book, but I really prefer hard copy as
reference material

but reading scanned pages on a computer is crap.
A real academic crime wave.
However, I suppose it might be tempting for a poverty stricken student,
but reading scanned pages on a computer is crap. I don't know about the
other books, but the AoE in PDF is worse than photocopies.

Nico said:Or not. With every delay new stuff gets invented that should go in
there and other stuff is obsolete. Besides with all the information on
the internet you don't really need a book like AoE anyway.
In the old days there were the hobby magazines, not sure many still exists,
we had 'Radio Electronica' and Elektuur' in the Netherlands, same as 'Elector' I think.
There was 'Wireless World', and some more, 'Radio Bulletin', what not.
Do any of these still exist? Elector does I think.
Jan Panteltje said:It depends where you start.
If you have already an education in electronics and perhaps also math,
yes then you can get most of the web, and filter the crap automatically.
If you are a kid and know little about the stuff, you will be lost.
You can still learn from projects that you build from diagrams you find, though.

I do not have AOE, maybe if it appears as free downloadable pdf I will have a look.

I simply never go to a bookshop or newsstand these days
Even the news is electronically, with a much broader spectrum
then
the old local news paper had. Go short on printing presses...
LOL
Usenet also helps, lots of people will help you and point out
your
errors.

Already noticed some pages of it are on google.
Interesting.
Maybe he's just fed up with Jim Thompson and his band of idiots.
They've destroyed this N.G.
True, but I have yet to find a circumstance when politicial posts
have improved my design skills.
I will say no more on this topic.

xray, Legris, and Riddle have been on my no-retrieve-list for years,
so I'm just now seeing this diatribe.
WHEN have these birds EVER posted a circuit or solution?
I'm disappointed in you, Steve :-(
Being politically correct, following the messiah blindly, DOES NOT
MAKE YOU A GOOD CIRCUIT DESIGNER.

You would restrict my freedom of speech?
Aren't my circuit responses dead-on accurate? (Except for an
occasional typo ?
I'll stick strictly to circuits IF EVERYONE ELSE WILL ALSO DO SO. Of
course SED will then die, because there's rarely anything electronic
actually ever posted, and at that, they're so juvenile they should
have been posted in sci.electronics.basics
Sometimes I think we need a newsgroup to
point some people to.
I notice these whiners never mention Dimbulb, Sloman or EEyore.
Of course not. The dweebs need their messiahs to look up to... the
super dweebs need Win Hill ;-)
