Yes, that I understand, though when others ask me what I do
I simply say I'm retired, which is true, for now (11 years actually)

I went into Mining, then Systems Administration (VAX)mixed in with
Geotech, exploration, lease pegging, lease management, before
starting a computer company in Kalgoorlie Western Australia.
I have a vague memory of how I ended up in Melbourne Australia :-)
I lost a lot of my old test and design gear after the breakup of my
first marriage but still have my Fluke multimeter and Tectronix CRO.
Cheers
Ian Manners
