Degree in Engineering Physics back in <mumble>, administered by
Engineering, not Physics Dept., and currently working as a EE in
electro-optics for a telecom company. And pretty handily designing
ultra-low jitter - and cheap - PLLs, too :-)

ahem, am comfortably ensconced at the nearest Starbucks, pissing the
afternoon away. <yuk yuk>
Make friends? Sure, no problem, where'd I leave them spare parts?

That's why we get paid the big bucks. How else am I gonna pay fer
