When I saw it, the shit had already hit the fan on the email-list, but I 
naturally share your greif, having lost a near colleague in cancer and 
having to take over his work. My condolences to you and your co-workers.

Remember their families even after a few months. That's when they will 
need it the most.

That is why we are here. We go off topic here, but as long as people is 
interested and is having fun, there is no real harm.

*RESIST FLAIMBAIT*

:)

The one with resistors and capacitors handrolled by throat-singing 
tibetian monks in a remote high-altitude monastery in the presence of a 
Lama. The knobs is made out of wood from the tree of knowledge with 
Stradivarius lacquer. Front-plate and mechanics is made out of 
zirconium.... (shall I go on?)

Cheers,
