there was a store clerk in the Boston, Mass. (110 Federal St. ) in the mid
forties, who taught how to move the decimal point 6 places to the right, to go
from mfd to mmfd...roll on to the 70's...i'am in the only Lafayette store in
Las Vegas...a mother and son are trying to find a 50 ohm resistor, son is
wearing a Cub scout uniform..." Joe " the store clerk goes through the blister
packs of resistors, alas no 50 ohm, sez i, " connect two 100 ohms in parallel"
Joe goes postal..always wondered if the boy persued electronics? never went
back to that store for anything after that? I'am 71 this month, and am still
working at a major hotel/casino, fixing tv sets...i shopped at THE radio shack
store on Washington St. store...and my S-38 came from the Lafayette store, in
Boston...the clerks i met in my youth, helped mold a life long career in
electronics...Gene Reed Tsgt usaf retired...wb7ngi
