You missed a BIG opportunity! You should have replied within seconds with saying : ' Are you a monkey too?

I was discussing EMS capability with a Director of Engineering of a past company I worked for. The general discussion was about soldering. She made the comment that "they are only solder joints, any trained monkey could do it". Being a manufacturing engineer I was insulted.

I'm really impressed Guys of your sort will always have a job? Cave researching fascinates me, has always done, but I'm a coward, would never think of hanging in a thin nylon rope 300 feet above cave floor with stones and water hammering around (first step into Pyrenean grotto 50 years ago, you could place a cathedral on inside). Nor could I dream of swimming through narrow passages in underground currents in Yucatan peninsula. You must be an extraordinary 'electrician'., finally a guy who got more than golfing in his head. /Inge ----- Original Message ----- From: "Allen Maddox" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Saturday, July 25, 2009 4:35 AM Subject: Re: [TN] NTC: A very silent Friday Allen Maddox, CID+ We do. http://www.gai-tronics.com/.

They represented 4% of the total industry. The number of employees was much higher 1965, declined and increased again until 1985, but began to go down again and is still doing that. The reason is the massive competition from the East. The prognosis is that the consumer electronics will minimize still more, while the military, microwave and computer industry will go up (if the country can get top skilled workers).
