The first one i understand, but as for storage... all the negatives and slides that I have that are important to me I made digital copies of for both peace of mind and sharing purposes. I don't really see a benefit to having physical copies vs ones and zeros.
I’m not disagreeing with you but people who want their photos to potentially survive an EMP might value that. And no, I’m not convinced about EMPs destroying everything.
Cant one just scan their film negatives in and do all of those things in Lightroom regardless of the source?
Quantum mechanics would disagree.
Analog design is still PFM to most people.
My favorite character ever. Bob Widlar, the father of analog IC design.
Good old Bob Pease - another great name in analog design.
that’s what eBay no reserve is for.
There’s a name I almost forgot. I used to read his columns in “Electronic Design”(? pretty sure that was the trade magazine I got)
Yes, that's it. For a long time National Semiconductor kept an archive of his columns and other stuff, but it got removed a few years ago.
I’ll have to dig through those archives. I remember one particular article he wrote, not long after either a friend or family member of his was killed after flying into a box canyon. I think he was working out calculations on turn radius vs airspeed and how it all applied to stall speed. He was not a pilot but math and physics don’t care.

The speculation was that it wasn't the crash that killed him. People think it was a stroke/heart attack.
Ouch. We still have a 1060 and a 2220B sitting on the shelf that work just fine, lol. Dad bought it in the mid-70s and gave it to me as a first stereo when I was a young teenager (mid-90s). Only 30W/channel, but that was enough for my bedroom!
