“Sparks” and “Shock”ley. The names conjure up the results of many failed designs. Good thing they try tried again!

RIP Mr. Sparks.

Remember when they said transistors didn’t produce heat? There was no fan in a tube TV. Now, we use so many transistor junctions that there has to be a fan in our computers! New TVs and cable boxes produce so much heat that they can help heat a room.
