well downloaded it, I like the new speed dial feature, hope some one bring that to firefox :$,  love to use opera as my main browser but so used to adblock and seeing adds annoys me now :( . opera should bring that feature as well (they have image block but that’s not good enough)

oscilloscopes

author Posted by: din100 on date Feb 28th, 2007 | filed Filed under: nerdy stuff, rant

They are so expensive even older analogue models in ebay going for £100s of pounds. I’m not a big fan of USB oscilloscopes. I haven’t seen a good review about them even they are not cheap.

I need one for my home project but dont want a spend that much
