My dad was one of the first subscribers to Wired in the early 90's, and when visiting I'd steal them all. I think some seminar recommended it for the older engineers to stay hep. That was around the time I heard dad say 'sucks' for the first time, too. :)

"Wired" also occasionally has a TV show on PBS, as well.

Five of us local "tubeheads" got together today, at the local Thai joint for lunch.

The bill, including taxes, came out to exactly 65.50.

The waitress didn't "get it" when we asked if it was Tung-Sol or Svetlana. Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_04 Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_03 Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_05 Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_07 Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_09
