^^^ I still love you Ratch
Still me tvtech
I never change. I might disagree with the way you do stuff...but I always learn
As long as I keep being a good person, as poor as I am...I am OK.
I just know you are going to quote this...I know you by now. Hence few words
LOL Gotcha..

Yep that was an analogy not a fib.Look at post #436 of this thread.

I had few comments after that saying it was a good one so whats your problem?
They also can be used as switches.Just about everyone knows that both transistor and a vacuum tube can amplify
They also can be used as switches.
They are not only used for amps.
It is easier for a novice to understand switch's then amps, that's all.
I don´t think a novice needs to know the internal physics of a transistor. He needs to know how it behaves, and it is easier to understand that when you start with a switch and gradually bring in the amplification.Studying their application as switches reveals one of their applications, but it does not teach the internal physics of how a transistor works.

MrAl,
I think it best to just answer their questions and correct their misconceptions. The time it takes to do this depends on how deep their ingrained false information is and how fast they can correct it.

Hello,
Yes, but a variable approach is still better than a hard and fast rule that says everyone must learn in a certain manner and there's no room to change that. Books are written with a certain point of view in mind and they usually dont like to present several views on how to go about understanding something.
But i think you understand my point now.
