I don't know if anyone cares, but I will probably leave the usenet in a little while in the course of taking up new duties next fall at Cornell University, there to hold forth further on what oversampling is -- and is not! -- useful for, and on how to design opaque little analog circuits, and sundry other topics. It is not entirely clear that these duties include pontificating on the usenet as part of my responsibility. Nevertheless, if any reader seeks, say, formal training in digital signal processing, integrated circuits, analog-digital conversion and the like, he or she would do well to consider a jaunt at Cornell, now "ramping up" in these disciplines. Do not be surprised if you see an article or two in media of wider circulation that cite the esteemed rec.audio and sci.electronics, or at least touch on topics cherished there ... It being something of a tradition on rec.audio, I will try to post some parting materials from the past, as well as catching up on certain e-mail requests whose slow reply by me my current, albeit less structured, duties regrettably dictate.

When you get here, go to the Theory Center at Olin Hall and get yourself an account on the BATCOMPUTER and you'd be instantly back in circulation! Besides the BATCOMPUTER, there must be fifty million other computers for you to play with. So, don't fret you are not off to the black forest.

But I wasn't expressing concern about access to usenet -- that is if anything too easy to come by, in my opinion. It was rather a question of whether the continued vice is compatible with more-structured responsibilities. Some firms that hire engineers now stipulate urine tests; I expect some will eventually require usenet tests as well. Maybe a polygraph with flash cards, something like that.

Indeed, it was a factor in deciding to go to Cornell...
