Last week I asked about a FAQ for this newsgroup and I was surprised
to discover that one does not exist. 
I would like to make some suggestions:

- Would some experienced wizard like to initiate a FAQ ?
- I would be interested in sections on:
  - motors, diodes, capacitors, transistors, sensors, popular ICs, power supply
    (types, dis/advantages, peculiarities)
  - PC & workstation interfaces 
  - acronyms, chip prefixes
  - magazines, books, projects, kits
  - trouble-shooting
- perhaps a standard schematic format could be decided upon and popular 
  schematics could be tarred and stored at some ftp site.

P.S. - I would compile it but I only have access to the network every four
       months and I doubt I am experienced enough yet
