   I recall you've given examples of how poorly educated today's EE grads   
   are several times in the past. I just find it quite extraordinary how   
   standards can have fallen so low from what they once were. How can they   
   *not* know how a mosfet works?? I knew that before the age of ten just by   
   reading a few books. What the fuck are they teaching them nowadays?? :-(
