[sdiy] Pimping Gas and the death of 4051 chips..

[Bob Weigel]

<clousseu> Yess...yess I knooow that</clousseu>  Hehe.  This friend and 
I actually hosted a clousseu movie night where I got up and thanked 
everyone to come in celebration of my promotion to premier executive 
inspector or something...and my friend busts in all done up too and says 
"This man is an imposter" and we conduct this argument about why they 
should believe which of us is the real inspector climaxed by a display 
of our vocal talent to really 'prove' which one is, singing "The 
hiiiiilllls are alivvvve with the soundd of muuusuusuususuussiiiiiicc".  
I miss Oregon for that kind of stuff.  Seems nobody here ever wants to 
do anything like that. Maybe pimping your own gasoline has it's 
disadvantages you know in the creative realm. Ok this is wildly off 
topic but fun to recall. 
   Anyway...so nobody has had a preference in 4051 chip brands in their 
diy'ing over the years?  I found a wacked RCA along with the 
Toshiba..and my chip checker actually pointed out that it was bad.  
Hmm.  So maybe the environment is just eating them for some reason.  -Bob
