Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask TheBuddha, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

The school did have an electron microscope, multiples even.

They never let me play with that.

I've never got to play with one of those either. I don't think I've ever seen one in person. Not that I can remember.

Now that I have done. I've seen a couple in person. Given that this was way back in the 80s, I suspect they've been replaced by now.

They're little tiny things now. I suspect they don't cost millions of dollars these days.

Yeah, I just looked. I can get a used electron microscope for less than 40k.

I don't even know how those work at all.

I can imagine they are a whole lot different now than they were in the 80s. Just the computing power and memory advances alone are immense
