[BC] Radio's computerized future?

[Robert Meuser]

No practicality.  I usually hire entry level people. Teach one how to run the 
crimper and stripper. They strip and crimp every exposed  end. Then they go out 
and smoke a joint or whatever. Someone further up the food chain actually 
inserts the crimped ends and someone further up that chain tests for proper 
continuity. Makes things easy to manage and you can do your own job. Very few 
questions to interrupt your train of thought. Half can be answered with 'you're 
fired for being stupid'.
