There WAS an article published years ago.....mid or late 1960's I
think....Murphy's Laws and colloraries...or something like that...in
"Electronics" magazine published by McGraw-Hill.
Does anyone know if there is a copy of that somewhere on the web? I've
searched for it some time ago and came up with nothing. Perhaps my "search"
methods are lacking!
