Humm, so you are saying that the odds of his getting it right were about 
1/100,000?  Sorry, but if that sort of performance passes as a tech, that is 
even worse than what you'd expect in the 3rd world.  I'll bet he couldn't 
solder either.  If it were up to me, I'd first see if he was interested in 
learning the differences and could be taught, if not, well don't let that 
doorknob hit him in the butt on the way out.


You don't know me all that well here, I'm a 73 year old C.E.T. with an 8th 
grade education, and have been chasing electrons for a living since circa 
1949, and I could regale you the rest of the night with the dumb-assed 
screwups made by sheepskin carrying engineers being paid lots of money.

Switching vendors?  Similar part numbers maybe?  I've actually seen that 
happen.
