Viggo G,

I know well what you say about the world of computers and making the young folks in our workplace "soft".

You cannot imagine how painful it is for me to tap one of our young engineers from out of their AutoCAD world and have him/her join me in the field to show them what in their design is not working...their reply usually goes something like..."you mean you actually want me to walk the job-site with all of those contractors and things...?".

I am not that old, yet, but did have to use punch cards when I first started to work and my first destop PC had an 8" floopy drive and my first portable PC was some 28 lbs. Compaq that looked more like a sewing machine box than a PC...and now I complain about schlepping a 3.5 lbs. laptop around...

Regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />
