And their cats. --- Indeed. Over the last couple of years we lost everybody but Missy and, on top of our own sense of loss, watching her wonder where everybody had gone, (even though she didn't care all that much for them when they were here) one after the other, was very sad. So, after they were all gone, (except for Missy) and some time went by, we decided to sparingly repopulate the house with cats and went down to the pound to save a life. As soon as we walked into the "cat room", a little Siamese kitty at the far end of the room saw us and started making such a commotion jumping onto the cage wall and screaming at the top of his voice that I knew that kitty wanted us to be his. So we did the paperwork and after the pound got ahold of our vet (ostensibly to find out if we were cat-eaters or something like that) and we paid Monty's bail, we brought him home and introduced him to Missy. Missy immediately went dominant, being on her own turf and Monty acquiesced, being a 3 month old kitty. Things have changed since Missy now weighs about 6 pounds and Monty weighs about 14, but that's another story. Then, a few months ago, one of the volunteers at my wife, Gail's, hospital told her that she had found a cat roaming around an apartment complex, had taken it in, and would Gail be interested in providing a home for it. We now have three cats. :-) -- JF |

Had to bring you back. I hope that when it comes to anything electronic that you were worth it. This isn't a group about electronic design, it's a group for electronic designers. And their cats. --- Indeed. Over the last couple of years we lost everybody but Missy and, on top of our own sense of loss, watching her wonder where everybody had gone, (even though she didn't care all that much for them when they were here) one after the other, was very sad. So, after they were all gone, (except for Missy) and some time went by, we decided to sparingly repopulate the house with cats and went down to the pound to save a life. As soon as we walked into the "cat room", a little Siamese kitty at the far end of the room saw us and started making such a commotion jumping onto the cage wall and screaming at the top of his voice that I knew that kitty wanted us to be his. So we did the paperwork and after the pound got ahold of our vet (ostensibly to find out if we were cat-eaters or something like that) and we paid Monty's bail, we brought him home and introduced him to Missy. Missy immediately went dominant, being on her own turf and Monty acquiesced, being a 3 month old kitty. Things have changed since Missy now weighs about 6 pounds and Monty weighs about 14, but that's another story. Then, a few months ago, one of the volunteers at my wife, Gail's, hospital told her that she had found a cat roaming around an apartment complex, had taken it in, and would Gail be interested in providing a home for it. We now have three cats. :-) Sounds so familiar. Our son Duane, the one who died of colon cancer last year, used to come home with cats... "it followed me home" ;-) ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, P.E. | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona Voice:(480)460-2350 | | | E-mail Address at Website Fax:(480)460-2142 | Brass Rat | | http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | America: Land of the Free, Because of the Brave |

You were all plonked for starting stupid off topic and argumentitive threads that have nothing to do with electronics and then I saw the cat post and to be fair, it did have OT right in the subject. Had to bring you back. I hope that when it comes to anything electronic that you were worth it. This isn't a group about electronic design, it's a group for electronic designers. And their cats. John I've been thinking of getting a Korat cat. 2 Korats after moth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TIX7o77WTY Sporty looking cats. Kinda like the a cat version of a greyhound. A vet once told me that guys tend to have grey cats. Other colors weren't as popular. D from BC |

It's thermal insulation, so there's at least an explanation for it so far. But they also prefer to lie on just the document or newspaper section that you want to read next, which is harder to explain. Ajax will step over my breakfast and sit *exactly* on the newspaper article I'm reading. That's downright anti-intellectual. John |
