How about "I work in the part of the design process for electronics that enables your computer to work next to your lamp without making the lamp flicker" Lisa Hamaker Kaliday Marketing -----Original Message----- From: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tom Dagostino Sent: Monday, August 28, 2006 12:00 AM To: jeff.loyer@xxxxxxxxx; 'Signal Integrity Mailing List' Subject: [SI-LIST] Re: What do you do? I once worked with a guy at Tek, Cal Diller, who described himself on = his Tek business card as an "Electron Guidance Counselor". I think most non engineers can relate to that.

Sorry if this is a little off-task, but ABOUT the most perplexing = problem I've had for a while is answering the question "So, what do you do?". I faced this again while buying a dirt bike in the panhandle of Idaho - = not a place exactly full of E-mag expertise (though maybe a certain eastern Washingtoner might have relatives there?). After years of blank looks, = I've never found a good answer. I mostly resort to "I design computers" or something like that. Does anyone have a good SHORT explanation of what = a "Signal Integrity Engineer" does, for the general public, who think = "fast busses" is an oxymoron? I recently heard of "Microwave Plumber" and am thinking that comes pretty close!
