If you were given two black boxes and told that one was a Thevenin circuit and the other was a Norton, how can you tell which is which? You have access to a multimeter but can't see inside the black boxes.

I just look for the UA label and see if it says Norton or Thevenin. The Norton is so cool there is a motorcycle named after it. No one would want to ride a motorcycle named Thevenin. I can always use my Tricorder to figure out which is which.
As I typed that I noticed the banner ad was for National Instruments.
Wow, the ad software is amazing. I used to have several National Instrument boards in my computers. We used the GPIB (General Purpose Interface Boards) to talk to our film recorders.
National Instruments had tech support that is done right. I could call and talk to a real expert about a problem and they always solved the problem, This was back in the days of DOS 3.3 long before Windows. I sometimes was on the phone for an hour typing commands and reading the results to the support guy. There was no internet!
All Tech Support should be done like National Instruments did it because they did it right.
