Hi
I found it interesting but I do know what a LM337 is.
As do I.
I've had the honor to have lunch with Bob once.
Nice. I've been reading his columns since I don't remember when
(early 1990s?) I always learn something.
I wonder what he'll be doing next.

This is pretty sad, whatever the reason. Though I don't consider myself
much of an analog guy, he has been one of my heroes for a long time. I've
read and saved his "What's all this...?" columns from Electronics Design
magazine for many years to the point that I now have several notebooks full
of them. I do go back and read some of them occasionally and find them just
as fascinating on the Nth reading as I did the first time.
