Voltage gain, Current gain, or power gain?
Common base transistor has current gain of .99999.. and voltage gain >1 as
well as power gain. Wire is .9999999.. for all those.

A friggin piece of wire has a gain of 1 !!!!
umm .999999 :)

Is common wire really THAT close (.9999999..) to 1.0?
I always assumed that wire losses were more than that.
Or does that require superconductors?

Rumor has it that Fred Cisin may have mentioned these words:

Way too many variables to say for sure... diameter / gauge of the wire,

Depending on your point of view, for me to say such things is indicative of
either too much tequila... or not enough. ;-)
Either way, I'm just happy to have my mailserver within arms reach again!
