RE: [motm] NPN/PNP?

You win... a drink from the fire hose!  <grin>

I believe the difference between NPN and PNP is the current flow direction
between the collector and emitter.  Unfortrunately, I can't find or recall
what the "N" and "P" stand for.  (It's not something as simple as positive
and negative, is it?)
