	Having seen the phrase "liquid phase electronics" in print, it
occurs to me that "solid state electronics" is perhaps a bit of a misnomer.
Vacuum tubes are solid state too; they certainly don't have any liquid in
them and (if they are any good) don't have any gas either.  What's left, if
not solid?
