I guess I should find the old IT guys of ours and retroactively give them a
huge bonus :-)

Sure sounds like it!

It can certainly help with that bandpass. However, I have observed a
disturbing trend lately. New grads are often completely lost and can't do
the simplest RF thing the millisecond the PC is gone because of a power
outage or something.

Have you noticed how popular UPSes are these days? :-)

Once a major winter storm knocked us out for almost 24 hours. I suggested
that our group head up to my apartment where there was a wood stove, windows
that can be opened for fresh air, and beer (that convinced them...)

I think I'd hold out until you'd offered pretzels too... :-)

But one must retain the ability to find back crucial information even if the
Internet or the local electricity grid is down.

Even with the Internet and computers, developing your own efficient filing
system is critical, as I've come to realize lately. Creating your own notes
is (at least for me) a huge benefit as well, since of course they're written
in "your own" language and filtered down to just the bits you found as being
tricky, forgettable, etc.

For an established company, yes. For a start-up you better find that $1k or
free tool :-)

Yes, agreed... although you might be surprised at the prevalence of pirated
software in small companies...
