I have both digital and analog multi-meters. They each serve their own
purposes well. One of the digitals has an RS-232 log output [10 readings /
sec but not good on very variable items (sampling/slew rate issues). I also
have a Tek 475a scope [thankefully back in service], not the greatest, but
it get me by since I rarely do any high speed hardware away from a client's
site and then have access to their tools / test equipment. No lathe
however........

FUN? This is supposed to be FUN???? I thought it was just an outward
manifestation of some deep seated psychological problem <G>. At least that
is what my Wife keeps telling me.
