It's true, Steve, misery only flows downhill.  The only question is
whether the it accumulates on the way or sticks to those handing it
on downstream.

I secretly would like to become a designer one day, shhh...don't tell anybody. Maybe sometime in the future when I get tired of working on the manufacturing floor.

Don't do it!  Our world is one of raining bits and insane goals!
Warning, too many conflicting priorities!  Ones and zeros and uV and
kV and pF and nH and pS and and in^2 and X-Y-Z don't really mix well,
it takes an awful lot of shaking!  You must bend, fold, spindle and
mutilate!  Repeatedly!

Blind vias get into your eye patterns and make you not see the ESD
coming.  The boiler plate rusts out and must be replaced, but you
never get the moisture levels to a level that's acceptable to change
it.  And when you zoom out it looks like it did 30 years ago, but
with more colors - and it wasn't that rancid 3am coffee that did it,
honest officer!

Just when everything's tristated, the near-field is quiet, and you
can just about see your reflections in the PLLs, the marketing folks
will want a different number of ports on a different form factor in
a different use environment, but you can save the periods from the
ends of the sentences in the original specs, right?

Sorry folks - I had a good day yesterday.  Doesn't happen often.
