Then again, I seem to have developed some really bad ideas about Ohm's law and forgot completely about what the symbol for square root is. Haven't seen that in a quarter century or more. That's what happens when you don't use an organ like the brain enough.<br /><br />Oh well. I wasn't very smart when I went in and I guess nothing's changed. <br /><br />Good blog.
