RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while typing up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...

Most of these matches
of the devices and its inventor are pretty easy for people who have been around
electronics for any length of time (well, not if the length of time is a day or
two), but a couple just might stump you. This Electronics Inventors Quiz appeared
in a 1963 edition of Popular Electronics, so you won't be challenged with knowing
the inventors of the LCD or MEMS devices, but neither will you have to know who
came up with the abacus or the Archimedes screw :-).
