VERY LONG story. But yes I thankfully had the help of some magnificent people (but sadly not much in the way of family - most lived far away). My new stepmother was only 7 years older than me at the time btw and saw me as serious competition for 'head of the family', hence I was effectively 'out on the street'. It's at times like this you discover who your real friends are. Bless them. Graham

Bout 30 miles down the > interstate. Really? I was in Oxford, OH last year. Miami U of Ohio. Found one of the best Mexican restaurants I ever ate at there. I'm in Pittsburgh. We should get together some time. -Denny

Filters can either cut or boost by design. >Never heard of a 'peaking filter' for example ? www.national.com/an/AN/AN-779.pdf From section 1.1: "In circuit theory, a filter is an electrical network that alters the amplitude and/or phase characteristics of a signal with respect to frequency" It's a very informative filter primer. One should come away from it with the idea that the "gain", or lack of it, in a filter is a secondary, trivial characteristic. -- Steve Maki |
