I believe i saw some Merak boxes in the Axiom warehouse. I wouldn't be surprised if Ian still had some of these 'in stock' so to speak. These are most likely some of the stock he provides for charities and donations though if i were to guess.
Either that or he's just nostalgic.
Maybe Ford can confirm this if he is still heading to Dwight in the next while.

Depends on how you tune the flux capacitor.
Ooh, just saw that BigJohn already mentioned the FC.

SSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW to the punch there 2x6..
all this resistor, capacitor, transistor talk sends me back to my youth.. my dad was an amateur electronics person, and he had a table full of chips, clips, sodering guns, wires, etc.. all looked like a big pile of junk to me, but he managed to keep stuff working with all of it.. i remember he got one of those mail order TV's that you have to put together. he worked on that thing for months before he finally got it to work.
funny, the stuff you can remember when you try.

bigjohn,
My father used to own a Radio Shack in the early 80s.
How is that for a kid in a candy store eh?
Every Christmas, new radio controlled toys to test out, brand new computers all around (anyone remember the TRS80?), the latest in hifi equipment (they used to sell much better stuff back then) and electronics gadgets galore.
I used to love wiring things together for fun. I never realized miniature grinding motors and batteries could bring so many hours of joy.
My wife may disagree.
Oh geez, did i just say that???

congrats bren, you found it.. no segway here!!
peter- i dont mean to do that. when i read posts, random thoughts just pop in my head, and i start to type. i need to quit that. i have unintenionally hijacked too many threads. i dont need that reputation.
see, here is where i would normally insert a joke about ray, to get the heat off me, and then run!! but, i can handle it.
OK.. back on point.. WOW, that resistor looks cool!!
