Thanx.

And negative resistance characteristic is easier to swallow than
negative resistance.

Still mulling this over.

	If you make that negative DIFFERENTIAL resistance (negative slope to
curve of current vs voltage) the idea is much easier to think about.  In
order to have a REAL negative resistance (device can pump out current to
an external passive load) the system has to include a source of some
kind.
