I never met them in-person, either, but I have read probably all but just a handful of their application notes and articles. They definitely will be missed in the analog and even the digital world; there are no more of them around or being minted in the universities, in all likelihood.

In fact I've only ever known one man who did, and he himself is a curmudgeonly professor who's class it was my privilege to attend in college (it was required or I probably wouldn't have taken it because it was so difficult). <br /><br />Men like Jim and Bob are an endangered species - who is coming up that understands the world of the electron like these men?
