Women Turned off by Electronics

At cocktail parties I just say, "I make chips". They think potato chips ;-)

I type and solder stuff.

"fixed"

I play with computers. ;-)

Don't forget your 17th birthday (wow! you _were_ young ;).

But does she like electronic design?=20

It's even more cruel is when it's true.

Maybe that's why SWMBO doesn't let me have one. ;-)

I guess, if that's all you can do. But there's always the Internet.

"I sit in front of a computer 14 hours a day." That's usually enough to get them to change the subject.

I have grandchildren who've had more birthdays ;-)

She used to do my chip layouts when they were done on a drafting table (BC, before CAD) ;-)

...Jim Thompson

Better known as "4X".

I always told the truth. Funny thing was, no one ever asked me to fix their TV station or telemetry systems.

Come on Jim! We all know that you're so old, that your 'train of thought' is pulled by a steam engine! Before that, it was pulled by a '20 mule team'. ;-)

The CSX Railway (nee C&O) still uses steam "booster" engines to help the diesels get over the top of the Appalachian Mountains in WV.

When I was a kid traveling back-and-forth from Huntington, WV, to Boston (MIT) on the train, the Huntington to DC link was steam-powered. Then I changed to the New Haven (over-head electric) to continue to Boston.

You missed the '20 mule team' joke. ;-)

Wasn't that show hosted by Ronald Reagan ?:-)

...Jim Thompson

It certainly was.

Jim, you and John Larkin and I need to form an old-farts alliance on this NG or the newbies are going to pound us into sand.

Jim

The tusks are looser in Tuscaloosa!

Stop being a top posting retard.

Not likely. Twisting on "A Man for All Seasons", "They have not the competence" ;-)
