I just received a resume.

What kind of ME is that, using only _2_ decimal places when he coulda
used 3 or 4? Sheesh!

I always used five places, so they could make their own rounding
errors.

Goodonya, Mikey. PRECISION ill-fitting parts!

That was on the electronics side, so just five places is low
precision.

Which makes sense. Electrons _are_ smaller, so you have to
measure them, as they is.


The hard part is reading their serial numbers. Those little suckers
are FAST!
