Has anyone noticed a trend toward the hiring of shapely young clerks who
haven't a clue about electronics? Not a lot of women do (beyond using
computers and cellphones), but some effort should be made at a store
dedicated to that stuff!

At two different Radio Shacks in central CA, a sales babe:

A) Didn't know what a UPS was, but managed to catch on when the words
uninterruptible and power supply were mentioned. Then showed a dismal
knowledge of what their one model actually did.

B) Couldn't guess what a photoelectric controlled LED nightlight night
be. Made a move toward the small parts drawers and had to be redirected.
When it was explained three times that it's not a battery-powered
cupboard light, rather one that plugs into a wall, she STILL didn't get
it until a point-by-point explanation was offered. But they didn't stock
one anyhow.

Both were jiggly and nice to look at but it must be embarrassing to get
second-guessed by customers all day long.

For a while the smartest clerks at our local Radio Shack (Oregon City,
OR) were a couple of very sharp young women -- they had it all over the
zit faced boys who _thought_ they knew their stuff.

But yea, they seem to be hiring for looks up here too.

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" gives you just what it says.
