Thanks, Bill. The young-uns have alot to fear from us. One of our senior 
RF engineers (he's my age) drives a Harley to work, has longer hair and 
has a sign on his office door that says "old age and treachery will beat 
youth and skill everytime". He's 6'5" and weighs about 300 lbs. Make me 
feel good to be an Old-un. Besides, since I'm over 50, the federal 
government considers me a protected class. You think sexual harrassment 
has made a lot of lawyers rich? Wait til us boomers start getting the 
shaft, open you wallets baby. But not right now, my lawyer's still in 
jail......
