Of Chips and Of Fatherhood!!!

Confusing!!! A chip designer can experience the joy of being a father technologically. When the chip you have designed with all ur effort and time comes back in a cute little nail size package, you feel elated. Your creation has taken shape. When you switch on the power supply and lo the chip comes to life and you get to see all those funky waveforms on the CRO i guess you get the same feeling as a father who watches his baby taking its first little steps and trying to say some garble!!! Its your brainchild. You have designed it and if it behaves to a close approximation of what you have envisioned at the first place then you feel as if you are on cloud thirteen hundred and forty one jumping with ecstasy.......of course your child is terminally demented and just repeats the same function over and over again...Time to start creating a new baby:-) Long live the chip designers!!!..(Enuf of bragging for today:-))
