"As one might expect,
there is very little new in
electronics, at least in analog
circuitry. (...) Sometimes the
innovators try to make their transfer
of known electronics methodology from
one discipline to this one seem
revolutionary. The revolution is not
actually the technology, but rather
its revelation to the rest of
the world."
