[Harry Bissell]

This has always been my bitch with contract engineering... The layout people are
"rushed" to get the job done fast... and quality suffers.  I know that a certain

@ss, and I know I will be the one to suffer in the field, trying to "cover up" a
layout error.

Fact I've made a career out of it.  :^)
