Despite the fact that Robert's protest was targeted at me as well as the
two or three other electronics geeks, I, too, am impressed with "obscure
egg-headery" and give him props.

Talking about tantalum capacitors vs aluminum electrolytics is every bit
as pertinent as discussing metal-bearing anti-seize compounds because they
both apply to the smooth and reliable running of the Vanagon.
