Mostly electronics and all sorts of synthesizer, he/him.
I looked up my own posting to the RISKS, I thought I had posted twice but maybe I didn't. Anyway, it made me a bit sad because the industry is so dumb and never really learns from mistakes. Thank you Peter G. Neumann, for at least trying to make people think about this stuff.

Several years after posting this I was now married, living in a different town and our energy supplier decided to do the same thing, adding alphanumeric-only and length filters, locking us out of our own account with its properly secure password. But it's worse than that, before they added the filters you could set the password but attempts to use it resulted in a 500 error with ASP.net debug *turned on*, so we got to see some of the hideous SQL misdemeanour.
Now I need to find someone selling the GPIB option.
Testing with 13dBm from my Marconi 2019A suggests these meters are good, the seller told me they were tested working 15 years ago and not used since.
Always worth testing unknown test equipment with other unknown test equipment. This should be 13dBm but I reckon the generator output is low. The 10dB steps on its attenuator are each within 0.1dB of where they should be which suggests the voltmeter is working well. All three of these Flukes appear to be working correctly.
This signal generator that I described as Farnell is actually Gould, it can do AM and FM modulation simultaneously. That’s neat and though I didn’t really need another signal generator it’s enough to make this a keeper.
Rue Mohrok, remember the jug crushing robot I didn't get finished? well, I got it working. There are some details to having it technically "finished"
