DSE seem to have taken a leaf out of the Radio Shack (Tandy) book,
including the 'you've got questions, we've got blanks stares' motto.

Jaycar, on the other hand, states in their latest cataogue 'we'll try to
cut down on the crap so it doesn't overrun the component space like it
did last year'.

Interesting that the specs for job candidates at Jaycar changed
slightly.  They used to want the usual, plus a bit of paper stating 'I
are an engineer of some sort'.  No bit of paper needed now, knowing the
different between a LED & a diode is enough.  (Anyway, diodes light up
at least once).
