Every engineer's dream vs. reality! One scientist fantasizes about a fancy digital oscilloscope with pristine waveforms and a price tag that would make your grant reviewer faint. Meanwhile, back at the lab... surprise! The "scope" is literally a hand-drawn diagram on a piece of paper with some squiggly lines. Budget cuts strike again! This is why physicists develop that thousand-yard stare by their third year. Nothing says "cutting-edge research" like pretending your thumb and index finger is a caliper.
