        And at the same time, the interest in the amateur community in
building equipment either from scratch or kits diminished, and then the
appliances took over.  The result of this period is that we are now
blessed with engineers who have little or no hands-on experience, and
little inclination to acquire any.  These same individuals now look at
people like me and declare that we're "over-qualified."

        Go figure.
