Got it yesterday, Win!  Thanks very much for the personalized
inscription!

Even on very short reading I can see why everybody's been raving about
it.  The discussion of tradeoffs in noise behavior between JFET and
bipolar parts is quite excellent.

I did, however, discover a teensy little error (which I've posted to
the web site contact form).  Page 500, footnote 40, last sentence,
says "The Sanyo four parts near the bottom of the table..." and should
probably read "The four Sanyo parts...".
