[Tigers] More Silly Refurb Questions ...

[Stu Brennan]

The ohmmeter rides in the trunk.  And my antique scope, a HP full of vacuum 
tubes, would not fit in the trunk.  I get to play with all the new tricky 
stuff at work, Philips medical home monitoring group.

But do you have an ohm meter or oscope wired in any where?  I mean, how
can you call yourself an EE if you don't lol...  You have a pocket
protector also? I still us my sliderule... batteries never run down on
it... mostly for stirring my coffee, though...
