Not if it's sitting at home, or back in the trunk...

Think of the master mechanic.  He's got $20,000 worth of tools in a  couple
of rolling toolchests -- everything top quality.  Maybe, he even works on
Jags, Rolls, or something like that.

Now, let's picture ourselves stranded on the side of the road, in the middle
of nowwhere.

Who would you rather pull up and offer you some help, the Master, or some
high school kid who's just taken his first highschool course in automotives?

Sure, the kid might get the job done.  But, he might also short out that
$1,200 cpu stuffed in your dash.  For my money, I'd like the Master to work
his magic -- even if he's just using the $20 emergency toolkit he's slipped
under his front seat.

Take Care,
Dudley
