Silicon semiconductors in your oscilloscope ????
Pah. Young whipper-snapper. My first one was a Heathkit, with real valves ("tubes" to our transatlantic brethren). Xmas pressie from my parents.
They were both down with the 'flu that Christmas, so I had it built and running by Christmas Night :-) (This is why I remember it so well...) (And yes, I was an only child and no-one else from the family was over that day....)
Surprisingly, it didn't have a network port either.
I wonder if anyone's tried to pwn netiwork analysers ?? That would be even more fun...
