to supply cheap equipment to the rest of us! After all, "Tectronics" gear can be had dirt cheap on eBay compared to "Tektronix" gear, because nobody can find it in their search engine. -- jm

I agree with Craig. Don't be such snobs..I think the key point is this - there are 1062 members currently on the Tekscopes list. Whenever posting something, it is important to ask this question - "If I was actually standing on a stage in front of an auditorium with over 1000 people from all nations in front of me - would I actually say this?". If the answer is "no way" it is time to keep ones mouth firmly shut. And yes - if anyone has missed the point, I feel very strongly about this. Craig |

I once saw a list composed by the Tektronix mail room of all the variousIt seems even worse than my name. I've had main come to Sawyer, Saywer, Saywers, Saunders, Swyear, Sowear etc etc. My off the cuff reply when someone on the phone asks how to spell my name is to say "Like Tom, but with an S on the end", but it seems that the adventures of Tom Sawyer isn't a standard text at school these days...
