I respectively disagree. But, then again, I believe that we have different
views on our systems. Mine is something I relax with, something that I do
in those rare moments of quiet alone time. If I understand correctly, you
use yours as part of your livelihood, which gives it a much more serious
implication-- wasted time is wasted money.

So, while for you, stuffing leads might be a pain in the a&&, I don't see it
as a miserable, petty task. Its something I can do to let my mind unwind
after sitting in front of a computer for 8+ hours a day, attempting to
predict exactly what the best way to store and index a million electronic
documents within the constraints of a feeble database and users who don't
know what they want and a project in continuous emergency-mode development
thats several years late. Oh, sorry, I digress... I must need more solder.

--PBr, who actually likes his job. Really!

However, for some unknown reasons, some people enjoy
wasting their short lives away with miserable petty tasks like sorting,
bending and inserting resistors, which accounts for so many NO responses.
Sorting resistors isn't relaxing, it's a pain in the ass. Fortunately the
sequenced tape helps eliminate that.
