Re: sanding off chip markings?

Hello Richard,


I saw them in a grab box at one of the big stores. Still, $1 is too much
money for something that is essentially worthless and would just take up
space in some desk drawer ;-)

An intersting economic metric would be mean-time-to-landfill.


ROFL! That would be a cool new parameter for the post-RoHS era.

With stuff like this "radio" you couldn't really assess that time. People buy these because the deals sounds so enticing. A buck for a radio, wow. Then they'd fumble with it a bit, become frustrated, leave it somewhere and the next day they wouldn't remember where.

I must confess that I almost fell for it, for the same reason Michael did (to take it apart). Then my sister gave me one that she received as a freebie. So I could keep my buck plus tax ;-)
