Howoo Jo,

I usually mix apple and orange in a blender with a tiny little bit of
water and drink the oranpple.  What's this?? Are ya trying to
invent a new theory??  I was trained to believe since my school
years two decades ago,  copper width determines electrical
current carrying capacity and the spacing btw traces determines
voltage level requirement.

Hi Ken -

You are trying to compare apples and oranges.  Voltage
determines the track
widths needed, current determines the spacing between traces,
pins, etc.  At
least I'm fairly certain about this answer.  I'm sure there will be
better answers
forthcoming.  :-)
