Along with ads about IC manuals and multitesters, I find (*surprise!*), that a company called Computer Dynamics in Greer, South Carolina, is advertising bathing suits! What a funny name for a sportswear company! Let's look at the copy: "NO TIME FOR ASSEMPLY PROGRAMMING?" Well, I guess she just can't wait to get to the beach. "For the engineer with a computer control project to implement,..." Okay, folks, it's revelation time: how many of YOU program in your bathing suit? (no, not your birthday suit) What about you hardware folks who actually get down and assemble iron: do you wear your bathing suit in the lab while soldering and so on? I'll start: I don't, at least not at the office, and *never* in March. 'If you can't stand the heat, get out of the computer room.' I'm sending letters to the Advertising Director of IEEE and to Computer Dynamics, suggesting a professional attitude is more appropriate.
