I realize that this is a broad stroke, and my apologies to any "good" Freeper EEs out there...
My philosophy is simple... If you see an Electrical Engineer with a screwdriver in his or her hand, RUN!!!! I've had to fix so many problems caused by EEs trying to "improve" the performance of their computers, either through SW or HW mods, that it's kept me busy for years. More importantly, I was nearly electocuted by an EE who put together some office cubicles, and when he did the outlet wiring, he wired a hot ground. Blew up 3 systems and a switch. And I wound up dazed on the floor.
