When I SHOWED you an ebay picture of a ProPette you said that I was lying. When I said that I had designed and programmed liquid and gas chromatographs you didn't even know what I was talking about.

Yes, I have that.  Unfortunately, the eBay links expired long ago:

"I designed and programmed everything on these but the PC board and
the cabinets.  The Pro/Group also had another turntable on it which
contained 48 blood sample test tubes and it would preload the 48
container traythat could then be transfer to the trhermocycler that
cycled the up and down with great precision via Peltier devices
heating and cooling at particular speeds for each cycle"

Slight error.  The first eBay item hasn't expired yet.

Here's some history on PCR Thermal Cyclers:

Congratulations.  It seems that you worked on the very first one. The
TC1 DNA Thermal Cycler from Perkin Elmer Cetus in 1988.

Despite the description from your resume entry for 1988 claiming that
you did "Total hardware design and software re-design of
micro-titration instrument", the details are all about writing
firmware and software for the device. "Developed firmware for
Pro/Group blood typing for customers".
