NTE ECG Book: worth having around?

[keko]

NTE-ECG, EDITION 11, MARCH 2003, SEMICONDUCTORS TECHNICAL GUIDE AND CROSS REFERENCE

I can get it here, and it's cheap enough. Is it worth it? Or will I have the same info on the net?

Is it outdated already?

Thx

Same as the net but why not have it anyway. They give them away at Fry's so I grab the new edition when I see it.

I use mine all the time. My computer and my work bench are in different places and it's very handy for looking up pinouts, part subs, etc.

if your puters all the way upstairs, having that book there is worth the space it takes

If it has data sheets in it, then it could be useful for comparing things and cross referencing, too. And, you would have a back-up copy in case your internet service is down right in the middle of your next project...
