[oopic] Re: where is everybody!

Sorry - just realized how rude I've been not replying. I don't mean
to be. I've just decided to go off-line until I know enough to post
something intelligent. I'm teaching myself digital logic from a book
written in the 70's (The preface said that at the time of writing
there was only 35,000 computers in the US- LOL). Sounds dumb but it
looks like a great starting point. The simple switch thing in my last
post made me realise just how much I don't know. I got to the page in
Dennis' book that talked about linking the output from logic gates
and just drew a blank. This book has a "start from the beginning"
approach. Really good. Assumes the learner has no previos knowledge
and is very well written. I Learned about truth tables today and
binary logic theorems and simplifying circuits mathematically. Also
about simplifying multi-variable tables using a thing called
reflected grey code and Venn diagrams. Also learned about DeMorgan's
Theorem today. Really interesting. If anyone's interested I can post
the ISBN of the book. It's probably out of print by now LOL.
