[sdiy] IC Temperature

[Ian Fritz]

Indeed Rene. I was thinking also along the lines of S/H units and VCO 
integrators.  None of my dual pdip ICs ever seem to get very hot. (I 
almost never use quads.) Instead of a fancy array imager, I just use my 
trusty hardware-store laser-gun thermometer.  Seems to work OK for an 
indicator, but of course it doesn't measure right at the chip.
