good info on static protection Dave,

Re manufacturers/resellers promises, with 8 days from #1 to #3 blogs, 
and Easter in the  middle, it doesn't give them a great amount of time.

But then, how interested are they in getting a product review during the 
current global situation?

Cheers Don...

I guess my sarcasm doesn't come through too well on the video!
Perhaps if I had a million subscribers they might be interested.

I've cracked triple digit views, or is it that the same few people are 
watching it dozens of times? :->

   Put a big ol' box of busted toasters on his porch.  You know he can't
resist them. :-)

Come on, Phil! Pots and kettles and all that stuff :-)

Not so long ago you were pulled up for using the word ASSHOLE,
arguably the worst Americanism of all.

I'm with you on the "wanker" bit though. I've had more fun watching
"East Enders". :-(

You are of course welcome to submit a video of your own, I'll include it in 
the next blog. How about it?

    What about that "Make" blog website where people can share
their interesting build it yourself project. An Australian
electronics one where people can submit their own handy projects
would be good. I have a few knick-knacks worth contributing
mostly micro based.

    I don't think for a second Phil would appear on video, but
under a pseudonym he'd probably be happy to write some articles
for an electronics blog.

Oh please do.  Maybe I can send in a "stupid" question and Phil can
rant and cuss!

Sure would be a barrel of laughs Dave.
I would say the whole of Usenet is waiting to get a Captain Cook of our 
little bleeder Philthy.
I've always wanted to see a video blog of Toaster Repairs 101, Philthy 
style.
I can just imagine it now.  More expletives than Gordon Ramsay as he answers 
the mailbag section (yes the spot you don't have yet).
Every time he comes out with an expletive or three you could beep out the 
offensive language, so then again maybe just leave it in and have an R rated 
version - LOL.  After all no one would recognise it was Philthy without 
getting abused for every little bit he disagrees with.

If you want a laugh, stroll over to aus.aviation and watch filly and 
Sylvia Else arguing over something that neither of them understand. I 
don't think that the regulars over there are especially amused though.

How does the power consumption of the processor compare with the rest of the 
electronics in the calculator?
I can easily see the advantage of throttling back the processor speed to 
save energy, but what about the rest of the electronics?
Have you taken any measurements?  I'm assuming the majority of the power is 
consumed by the processor?

Cheers,
Alan

The rest of the electronics?
There is none, the processor is it.
Calculators have been single chip solutions since almost day dot.

Almost all of it.
The LCD takes a small whiff of course.

I believe they screwed up the low battery algorithm too.
