Nobody had heard of bird flu in the 70s. :-D We were just a bunch of happy hippies surrounded by the smell of burning solder and other inflammables. /ravi

Heh, that's the first thing I thought of when I saw your post, and wondered what in the world someone could be posting about a transistor for. Marc

I still have one (with its legs cut off) as a key fob. It was one of a total of eight that got fried in a regulated power supply / linear amplifier combination when a capacitor failed. That was in about 1973. I used to use them [almost] by the bucket full.
