Doesn't make much sense that an O-scope can't measure freq. I looked at the pix and the only controls I see seem to be related to signal generation, none of them seem to be for measuring. Again, how do you know this is an O-scope? Is there a name plate that says something like "Mark 5 Mod 0 Osci

Finally had the time to solve this problem (intermittent internet connection). I have a piece of SW called "Process Explorer" which is like Task Manager on steroids, and I noticed that a lot of CPU cycles were being used when the PC should have been mostly idle. Process Explorer pointed to the Sym

Getting up on the soap box here so forgive for interrupting the Mac talk - er, car talk. I think that Rich people make the finer things in life available to the common man, via the wonderful market efficiencies of capitalism. Case in point: HD TV's. A few years ago they were outrageously expe
