Retronics Personified
Gerard's Columns

Reading the Retronics pages in Elektor got me thinking about my 50 years in electronics. I started at age twelve and was lucky to experience the transformation from tubes to transistors to integrated circuits to personal computers to embedded computers and to the Internet. I don’t think any 50-year period has seen such a transformation in any craft in history. And I don’t think it’s likely to happen again.
