Well, the economy has taken its toll in the electronics industry in SW Ohio (laid off on Jan 2009). Received training in IT technology (state paid for it) earlier in 2009, since employment prospects were sparse (can't move for personal reasons). So I accepted a position with a local career college as a site IT technician; decent pay, good working conditions, challenges every day if not every hour, never a dull moment. Said that to say this: Been wonderful conversing with all the great minds and people on TechNet and DesignerCouncil, but it's time to say "so long for now." Loved doing board design for over 30 years. Keep on connectin' the dots, as one EE would tell me. Kind Regards to All, Roger "hate to go" Stoops ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
