Ok, Steve, you seem to have the best take on the whole situation, and sounds like all the right answers.... I'm glad somebody does..LOL I wasn't really sure when I made the post, but in your answer you made the answer really clear to me, and it was what I figured all along... THERE ARE ENTIRELY TOO MANY ENGINEERS IN THE WORLD. Like my old auto mechanics teacher used to tell us back in high school, and after 17 yrs I've never forgotten it, "Engineers always work in pairs, one to engineer some dumb A-- idea, and another one to hide it, or make it where it can't be fixed or understood... Or simply call them what my great grandpa used to call them, educated idiots. Not trying to rag on any of you engineers out there... Really, there are some good ones, somewhere LOL ...so just to let you know when your ears are burning, it's us mechanics in the field up to our elbows in grease, standing on our head, cursing you over that extra .001 inch that you forgot to leave us to get the part out..... Ok, getting off the subject here so on with the show... Seriously, thanks for the history lesson Steve, I knew the numbers, but it's nice to also know the history behind them. A day without learning something new is a wasted day, so today wasn't a total waste afterall. PS- I kinda liked the hamster analogy...hey if it's not fun then it's too much like work...LOL Thanks, Wayne
