Someone else made a comment in another thread here about weird
schematics (like for home appliances).

Wanted to get a small discussion going on that topic. My take: there are
good and bad standards for schematics. Personally, I can't stand the
ones that use rectangle shapes for resistors, instead of the traditional
zigzag that [insert name of deity here] intended to be used...

I prefer the traditional (German?) rectangle shape for resistors, your
zigzag things too much look like inductors, Herr Nebenzahl ;-)

Danke schoen, Herr Falk. (ich bin nein ein Deutschlander)

So those little boxes are a German thing, eh?

Well, you should see my on resistor symbols (zigzags). You'd *never*
mistake one of them for an inductor.
