RE: Electronics for Physicists /To Mark and Brian



Hi,

I am new to your list and should hold back for a while before jumping in
but I simply must express my thanks to Brian for his sending me to
KitsRUs/DIY Electronics. I especially enjoyed the "Rants" section.

While I am here! ------------------------------------------------

Mark: Your information is correct. The new little microprocessor chips
are not only useful, but if your patience for making mistakes (lots of
mistakes) is high, they are lots of fun to tinker with. Most of my
modern work has been done with Dallas Semiconductor's chip that has a
well implemented version of basic language embeded in it. Most of my
friends have gone to the PIC chips from Microchip
< http://www.microchip.com > and we don't talk much any more. Hi !!

Is there any interest among members of this list for talking about the
psychology of why young folks choose a technical carreer?

Or of trying to identify those youth types that should choose such a
career.

Or what can be done to bend a youth towards a career in science.

Or is the list limited mainly to the nuts and bolts of science?

Is it customary to answer members questions, and make comments, on the
list, or should such commmunications be carried on privately so as not
to load the list mailbox down?
