Hi Eric, If a typical manufacturing engineer life is anything like me I'd say that the packrat process started in the younger years while taking things apart and not always being able to put them back together. I'd hid them from my dad because he'd make me sit there until if figured out how to put it back together if he found out. I built up quite a pile of "pack ratted" parts. Of course from that pile I was able to create all sorts of cool stuff.

We already know you're an engineer! I guess that leads to the question, do packrats become engineers or does engineering school create packrats? Forget about chickens and eggs, this one has truly cosmic implications! Eric Kalgren Electrical Engineer The Ferrite Co.
