Helpful Hints
Weptronics Amalgamated is the creation of Helmuts Feifs, a once-upon-a-time captain of Marines. In his current incarnation he is a comic (and manic) genius. His slash-and-burn sense of humor might not be to everyone's taste, but there were many nights when I was at the computer desperately trying to meet a deadline and a Weptronics post would appear in my mailbox and leave me laughing--laughing until it hurt. The best adjective I can find to describe Helmuts' style is... relentless. It reminds me of the work of Gustav Hasford--another Marine, similarly bent. These are works of fiction. Names, characters, catalog items, places and incidents are either the product of the author's imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events or locales or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental and usually right on the mark.
