THINGS I LEARNED ON MY SUMMER VACATION BY DAVE SHERMAN


	THIS SUMMER I WORKED AT ATARI. IT WAS FUN. HERE ARE SOME OF THE
KEEN THINGS I LEARNED. MOST OF THE ENGINEERS AT ATARI ALREADY KNOW THESE
THINGS BECAUSE THEY ARE REAL SMART.

	1)	ALWAYS PUT A B OR N AT THE END OF SIGNALS THAT ARE ACTIVE LOW!
		YOU'LL BE SORRRRRY IF YOU DON'T!

	2)	ALWAYS DRAW A CIRCUIT THAT DOES SOMETHING THE SAME WAY EACH
		PLACE YOU USE IT, EVEN IF IT COSTS AN EXTRA INVERTER.
		AFTER ALL WHEN YOU ALREADY HAVE 40,000 OTHER INVERTERS IN YOUR
		CIRCUIT WHATS A FEW MORE BETWEEN FRIENDS?

	3)	DON'T BE AFRAID TO >>>STANDARDIZE<<< IF AT ALL POSSIBLE.
		VLSI CIRCUITRY ISN'T A CREATIVE EXERCIZE LIKE PAINTING AND
		A SCHEMATIC SHOULDN'T LOOK LIKE IT WAS DRAWN BY PICASSO.
		
	4)	TRY TO GO HOME BY ELEVEN, OR YOU WON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU 
		DID THE NEXT DAY.

	WELL THAT SHOULD BE ABOUT 1,000 WORDS, TIME FOR MY REMEDIAL MATH
CLASS NOW.
