the awesomeness of this tool

and I've not made much progress since.

They were handy little templates .... until Cad came along.

I have about a dozen of them and I still use them, because my new schematic programs DEMAND too much info to get my point across.

aha! I knew there was bound tp be some people who still used these templates! We are professionals, it says so on the template, so there!
you know I'm kidding...

Seriously by way of comparison, it takes (for a small drawing) about ten times longer to design it on the computer than it would by sketching a drawing. that's why I draw on paper. I only use computers for other stuff, like PCB design. Although, for most audio project I prefer the look of old curvy trace boards.

Another comparison (altough highly superstitious): If electrons bump each other fatser than formula one cars, then don'T you think they take turns much better on a curved track?

Watch out! a 45degree turn, your're going too fast!
ohh you just lost 2 billion electrons...

I have one of those new-fangled slide rules, but I still use my old Log book...

Fiber optics often don't like sharp turns, we could start a whole new debate on it!

Back in high school we had an outside “expert” visit to lecture us on electrical safety. The guy told us about a bloke who stuck his finger into damaged extension cord socket and suffered burns and an exit wound at his shoulder. The explanation given was that by the time the electricity had arrived at his shoulder, from his finger, it was going too fast to take the bend.
