creation = responsibility

I am not, in fact, baby-crazy. I like babies, just as I have liked babies all of my life. I think they're adorable, but I don't want one of my own... yet. I'm not itching to get pregnant. I'm not at that stage that women get to when they not only worry about when they'll have children, but start picking out middle names, musical instruments, and colleges for said children.

However. When a board of my own design, whose circuits I painstakingly simulated, whose parts I chose and whose layers and routing I specified and checked... when a 5A fuse in the cabinet blows just as I put a scope probe on my board, I can't help but wonder if I've been a bad mother.

May I suggest Lilian, the euphonium, and Brown?

Also, heehee!

Excellent suggestions. The euphonium is a highly underrated instrument and I shall definitely consider suggesting it to possible future spawn.

Also, Lilian is a very pretty name. :)

People laugh when I call my chips "babies" and treat them with similar care.

I have a feeling you understand.

oh, I definitely understand! After spending so much time, effort, and care on something, it's hard not to feel affection for it. Or feel personally about its behavior.
