I was thinking about that this morning as I soldered transistors onto Veroboard… for the first time in about 30 years. It’s for the educational benefit of my dog…

For Tilly once she’s mastered electronics – http://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Teach-Quantum-Physics-Your/dp/1851687793
Ah! Thank you. We’ve actually read that, but Tilly doesn’t quite agree with this quantum stuff. She wants to know whether a rabbit *is* there or it isn’t, and she says that her nose is much better for determining such things than any of those strange eqquations…
That definitely figures 🙂
