Here are a couple new-old
electronics themed comics for your pre-Saturday enjoyment. They appeared in a 1962
issue of Electronics World magazine. If you never had a television antenna
on your roof, then you might not see the humor in the first comic. Actually, a lot
of roof-top antennas are still being installed, but they're most often the newer
compact type antenna with a built-in preamplifier and
rotator motor. A huge list of other tech theme comics I have posted is at the
bottom of the page. They would make good fodder for your at-work presentations to
put attendees in a good mood.

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 lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail"
when a new message arrived...
