"The repititious assembling of the same parts, over and over
again, now thats a DEAD END job."

All Right, those are fighting words, Walter!  Please forward your address
ASAP so I may board the next flight out...

Seriously though - assembling is NEVER boring as we always have the
challenges imposed upon us by designers, lobbing their "frozen" designs from
the ivory tower...  Plus we get to play with big machines.

Have a good one!

The above opinions are not those of this employer, mileage may vary, keep
out of reach of small children, max 5000 RPM.

I think schematics and especially circuit board layout is a real job!
Who would dare not think they have a real job, especially on this
forum. The repititious assembling of the same parts, over and over
again, now thats a DEAD END job.

Have a cool (rainy) Day, Yall
