does it mean that IT staff drive BMWs or that we have more time to be online answering surveys like this?

Aha I hadnt noticed this thread !

Yes as already mentioned I'm an electronics eng ( one of the old ones that replaces components rather than just boards).

The bits of software I do came later, (and dont compare to the stuff Killian and the like do), as electronics people working in the industrial side of things gradually had to be more involved in this as a lot of "control solutions" are now software based.

Even simple motor controllers are now set via a laptop, rather than by monitoring circuits with your scope and adjusting trimmers, replacing resistors etc.

I was also a part time plod for years ( a special constable, although my mates used to remove the "stable" bit ! ), I left this as when I went self employed I didnt have the time needed to devote to it, and they actually pay them now, typical !!

In my spare time now, when I'm not editing you lot, I promote and observe (teach) advanced driving with the IAM ( there are other advanced driving organisations, not all as stuck up as the IAM ).

With the growing numbers of "fuzz" on here I could be looking at getting more help in persuading you lot to do the advanced driving bit.

Best Wishes

Nigel
