1/02    I have a circuit that has 32 channels (chips) being switched
        on/off. When a channel is switched on, the chip connects one of
        its pins (connected to a constant voltage source) to the chip's
        output pin. But it turns out that the outputs all need to be
        constant current rather than a constant voltage, so I need a
        voltage-to-current converter. I want to know if I put a v-to-c
        converter in front of each channel's output (i.e. use 32 of
        them) is equivalent to just using one converter in front of the
        constant voltage source. Oh, the chip is just a Maxim analog
        switch. TIA.

12/15   I'm planning on traveling to Europe and I was wondering if there's
        any reason I shouldn't be able to use a US power tap/strip (no surge
        suppression) with just a plug adaptor (i.e., no voltage conversion).
        This would be for use with electronics that accept 100V-240V. While
        the power strip is intended for use at 120V, it's just wires, right?
        (Also, this power strip has no power LED or similar.) If anything,
