Oh... my ... I do not know where I turned wrong ... Or the world twisted ...
I just responded to a question, remember? Can one do it on a passive level?
And I answered NO. and I given the reasons. I _SUGGESTED_ to use an IC
rather than going to the extent of a discrete design. Check the site pages
again.
Oh ... English reading comprehension! Must be very low ....

===================================
If we can accept the notion that GUNS are
the killers and not the people, why is it that
we can not accept the idea that CARS are
the speeders and not the drivers?
Alex, trying to understand the world around.
