RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...

The Good Articles Just Keep Flowing In... |
Some
people like to complain about the rising world population and the stress it places on the environment
and economy. The upside of more humanity is that there is an unprecedented amount of research
and product design being performed by some really smart people - many of whom would have gone
undiscovered in remote regions of the Earth if not for outreach programs. The current plethora
of great new books and magazine articles is evidence of it, like the ones I have hyperlinked below.
Internet venues and self-publishing opportunities make the wealth of accumulated knowledge even
greater - just do a quick Google search on any topic for proof. Peer review is no guarantee that
information is valid. A lot of useless junk science is done as well (usually taxpayer-funded),
but I believe the useful results far outnumber the garbage. Thanks to all the good guys (and gals)
who provide their services.

The downside to population growth is that there seems to be an increasingly unbalanced parentage
of slothful dregs in society who pull everyone else down to their gutter level. They benefit undeservingly
from the hard work of others and never express appreciation for what is doled out to them by politicians;
their only 'work' in life is to demand more and cause more trouble for the rest of us.
