In my spare time (what little I have of it), I like to watch old science fiction movies.  One that I watched a few weeks ago was the forerunner of the theme in the Terminator movies: "Colossus, the Forbin Project."  The story tells of a computer so large, so advanced, that it gains control of all the world's nuclear weapons and proceeds to hold the human race hostage for its own purposes.
 
I had seen the movie several times before, but until a few weeks ago, I had never paid attention to the opening credits.  There, used as a background intended to convey advanced and superior electronics and technology, was this image:
 

 
There, in plain view are six Vitamin Q PIO capacitors intended to convey the ultimate in superior - even digital - technology.

Just for the record I've been told on this very web-site that, and I quote" Vitamin Q  capacitors would be the worst choice for his project"........ Vitamin Q's are still considered one of the best when used in the right circuits and when the right values are taken into consideration.......JMO That's a classic photo you've found, I'd love to have a T-shirt of that photo!!!!

Good enough for Skynet, then good enough for my next amp! (Until it becomes self aware!)
