As I was typing, I heard POP, POP which I recognized as high voltage
sparks and went into the other room where my technician was working on
an electron microscope. We spent a few minutes figuring where a cable
had broken down and decided to make a teflon bushing to go around it,
fun, fun. At the same time, I am waiting for a sputter system to pump
down so I can make an entirely new type of x-ray optic. I am excited
every morning when I come to work. Can lawyers say that?


I may be one of the few people reading this NG that knows what a sputter
system is.
I know what you're saying, having made an nerd "interest" into a bill paying
business and enjoying it all the way. Designed and built many, many optical
coating systems.

Dealt with many lawyers over the years and found that they basically
produced legalized versions of documents I wrote.

Good luck with your optics/coating business. Just don't sniff too much
thorium fluoride.
