My pleasure, Kris! I'm a Tektronix kind of guy, personally, but I'm not
complaining. At my workplace we use a Tenma video-pattern generator
just about every day. I'd feel naked without it because it can work
with all sorts of bizarre frequencies and monitors that are rather hard
to find.

At my brother's wedding a couple of years ago, I met the father of the
bride and we got along like a house on fire because he's retired from
Tektronix. We talked about oscilloscopes and whatnot for hours. :)
