Yeah, that sounds right - when I was writing the note, I thought it was 
off a little bit.

Although I'd have to put a little bit of thought into this - I think you 
can make a pretty good temperature reference by taking advantage of 
Ebers-moll model of a bjt.

In regards to Maxim - I've had the same horrid experience with those 
unobtainium devices. Similarly, on a prior job, the boss came around one 
day and told us to design them out everywhere :D
