Hi Paul,
Don't knock my 5-iron, it's my favorite--now my 2-iron, that one I leave in
the garage.
Now, if you quote Dan Quayle, you have to give at least equal time to Bill
Clinton--do YOU know "what the definition if 'is' is"?
The problem with our industry is that after all that down-sizing and
out-sourcing the OEM's no longer have any in-house expertise, the PCB and
assembly vendors work on such tight margins that relatively little 'thinking'
can be afforded--and so things go wrong. Things wind up in
litigation/arbitration, which make lawyers rich (expert witnesses, like me,
somewhat less so), and are generally unsatisfactory as far as really solving
problems is concerned.
Have fun down under!
Werner
