Hello Folks,
This is definately off subject . . . and I do sincerely apologize.
My 16 year old son was killed in an accident on Tuesday. Your thoughts and
prayers are greatly appreciated.
We have very few pictures of him. His friends are certain that he had
pictures on this little rectangular "key" that is inserted into the side of a
computer. Unfortunately it looks like the "key" may have been damaged as the
kids couldn't get the information off the "key". I'm not a computer animal.
Does anyone know if this information is lost or can it be economically
retrieved? If it can be retrieved . . . can anyone do this . . . or give me
suggestions on where/who to contact?
Replies off list would be preferred. Thank you for your patience.
<:)>

Au contraire Randy! Fleming's valve came before De Forest's, and was infact
an Edison Effect tube adapted for radio work.
You may well be correct. I was depending on memory, which is becoming
increasingly risky. I knew the Fleming valve came first, but I didn't think it
was
as widely used as the Audion. All of those very early tubes look like weird
bottles with stoppers in them to me. I am on much firmer ground with the
tetrodes and pentodes that came later, and were used in classic Hi-Fi gear.
De Forest updated Fleming and
was the self proclaimed father of radio.
He who lives the longest, and talks the most, is often the one who gets
remembered. I used to have a copy of a Radiocraft magazine issue that had Lee
De
Forest on the cover, and proclaimed him, "The Father of Radio."
I guess it is sort of like asking who invented television. Lots of people
and companies had pieces of the puzzle.
Randy
