Well, a fat lot of use the scribbled out bit below is...

What you don't need these days are qualifications or experience, just a team of fanboys shouting how good your particular brand of sh*t is...

But, just to reassure the visitor, we don't have any - we have a reputation instead.

A thought...

I have worked alongside some of the top engineers of the electronics industry (Zetex [Ferranti], Siemens Medical, Plessey Semiconductors, Cable & Wireless, ...) and I have talked to many of my customers from all walks of life - I've got on fine with all of them.

I don't get on at all with those who perpetuate the fickle "knock and know-all" attitude of the Hi-Fi industry - who do they think they are?
