Fube — What is fube?

FUBE – National Semiconductor

by admin on April 18, 2010

The term FUBES is the plural of fube. A FUBE is a replacement for a vacuum tube, using FET technology. If you plugged in a fube for a tube, the circuit might work better, but usually not. The fube was invented by engineers at National Semiconductor Corp in the 1960s, but never made any business or profit.

Note - if anyone out there can confirm or offer additional information on National Semiconductor and FUBES it woudl be greatly appreciated.

If anyone can help me out with more insights into the actual language usage it would greatly be appreciated.
