[ RadSafe ] End of an Era

[J. Marshall Reber]

I've just heard that Thermo Electron (Eberline) is closing their  
Santa Fe operations.  All design, production, repair parts and  
service personnel there are being let go, many experts with more than  
30 years of service will disappear.  R&D will move to Germany, repair  
service will all be done in South Carolina.

Throw out your little screwdrivers - - - future instrument adjustment  
and calibrations will all be done by Windows program interaction.   
Digitize your thought processes or become out-of-date!  All analog  
circuitry will be done by digital emulation.  People replaced by  
robots - - - where will it end?  Oh the humanity, the humanity!!!
