Re: TDA1022 - useful? [found/sold]

It was more fun back in the 80s, because you either paid a subscription and waited for each monthly issue - of course post was delivered by 8am in those days so I could wait for the postman before going to work, or visited the local newsagent in the hope that the new issue had arrived!
