Frink is a full-fledged programming language, so you can read data from files, write functions, access web-based data, repeat calculations, process text, create data structures, et…

Other EE annoyances: capacitors are often marked with their capacitance as, say, "100 MFD". No, it's not megafarad, it's not millifarad; it actually means microfarad! That's annoyi…
