[sdiy] Negistor Oscillators and web cleanups

[Tim Parkhurst]

Wow Michael, I'm really impressed! I like the stability and simplicity of
your negistor circuits. You may be on to something really neat here. I also
like the fact that you seem to really know what is going on in discrete
circuits. I'm not an EE, so a lot of it is over my head, but I've seen
recent EE graduates who don't know how to design without ICs and who
couldn't throw together a transistor-based circuit if their lives depended
on it. Even if you only work with ICs, I can't help but think that knowing
how the internal circuits work would help you get the most out of your
designs. (an IC is just a bunch of really tiny transistors anyway if you
think about it)

Anyway, congrats on exploring some new ground. Hope it goes well for you.
