Bob Like you I encountered a couple of exceptionally talented and helpful SE's in the 80's - perhaps it was location dependent. Later, arriving in the Great White North I was saddened to find the position had been reduced to that of a 'Sales Expediter'.

That's a bit harsh. I has two exceptional SEs, one in the early 1980s and one in the late 1980s-early 1990s. Of course, I haven't seen an SE in a long, long time.
