On Tuesday 14 May 2013 15:30:33 RJRTTY at aol.com did opine:

It didn't dub, but did edit, on a stock + remote control kit Sony 2850 3/4" 
VCR.  So that was about 4 grand worth of stuff built to sub-micron 
tolerances that I didn't have to do.

Yeah to say their reaction was totally legal driven was very dissapointing.  
It was a job that probably another 600 tv stations needed done at the time.
I half expected an offer to at least consult, with a small royalty perhaps, 
but no, they ran like a school of fish, taking any evidence of it with 
them, and did it over the lunch hour.

I have no clue what I might do on their exams, but certainly no 3.9 GPA, 
not at my age.  I do have a diploma though, from the University of Hard 
Knocks.  Hanging on the bedroom wall to remind me. :)  I also have a mensa 
test laying here, seals still on it that I intend to tackle eventually.

ROTFLMAO!  Thanks for the flowers, Roy, they are appreciated.

Cheers, Gene
