For all the complaining of lower standards...yada, yada,
yada, I find it amazing we have the incredible technology
advances, capabilities, etc which far exceed anything
we had 30 years ago. Just where and who do you
attribute those advances to...if not the new generation
of students graduating from our schools?

Don't look now, but all of this incredible technology comes to us
hams in the form of off-the-shelf appliances, largely designed and
manufacturered in Japan.
