content: One of the buttons on your blog is eBay. When clicked-- items appear. Are we to assume that these items are recommended by you? What controls which items appear there?

content: No, they are not recommended by me.I'm just trialing it to see if I get a referral revenue.Results are based on the generic search terms "oscilloscope" and "fluke".Dave.

content: Quote from: EEVblog on July 15, 2010, 02:31:40 amI realize now what a stupid question it was. There's no way you could sift through all the offerings to see which one's you'd recommend.
