So it's been a lousy day reading rev2 of RoHS II. In my 14year history of CE marking directive study I've never had quite such a sinking feeling at the pit of my stomache...so John's statement brings back a nice memory.
When I was a lad of 10 I spent the summer with a crazy uncle who had all manner of strange and wonderful surplus gear in his basement. One device was a crystal of germanium clamped in a steel "anvil", and installed above it was a curl of tin wire. With a single wire lead antenna attached, and if you could poke the tin whisker into the crystal just right, the broad cast of a local AM station would sound in the ear-piece. Such a magical event, to tease voices out of the organo*-mechanical device. A feeling absent from my ipod. So I'll chime in too, that I've used crystal sets.
