Reminds me of the time I was an Explorer Scout advisor in the 80's and
one of the kids came up, showed me an old schematic, and asked "What's
this funny thing here? It's got an upsidedown "T" on top, dotted line
in the middle, solid line on the bottom with a teepee underneath, all
inside of a circle." I told him it was a vacuum tube. Blank stare.
So I added, "It's like a cross between an FET and a lightbulb."
