A valid point has been brought up. What does a Time-Nut do with his
equipment when he dies.
Actually, I am serious here.
My little girl, who just turned four, is already an expert with the
soldering iron and she can name most components. Actually she is very
good with microwave components and she can name all the waveguide
types, magnetrons, attenuators etc, etc..
So, I am lucky I guess (so far). I hope she will grow up to be a
proper EE like her Dad.
But what if she is not? What am I to do with my equipment if I go to
the big Atomic Clock in the Sky?
I would definitely not sell it while I was alive! What we need here is
maybe a Time-Nut Museum. A place where our trusted equipment can go
and spend their remaining days with other equipment like them.
Otherwise, I just might request to be buried all my stuff. Like in a
small mausoleum. I am only half joking!

P.S. I know I haven't said anything here for a while. Too busy raising
a little EE and working. 73's to all!
Quoting Daniel Schultz <[email protected]>:
But what about the other date on the tombstone? You would need to
work out the
calibration of the clock in the delivery room on your 0th birthday, and hope
that your mother's doctor was also a time nut......
One can only hope that the local coroner is also a Time-Nut, so that time
of death can be determined with suitable accuracy and precision. Does
anybody know how many bits of precision are used on tombstones these
days?
