Berney; RE:" Maslow Level 4 "

gawd, that brings back some memories from w-a-y back {grin} Maslow's "Hierarchy of Needs". Completely off-topic, but have you ever read any of Lewis Mumford's works; eg., Technics and Civilization or The Culture of Cities ? More obscure, but a fascinating British author named Stafford Beer (who writes about organizations in the context of cybernetics and operations research); eg., Decision and Control or The Brain of the Firm.

You took me back to my M.B.A. daze, Berney! Now thinking about J.W. Forrester's Industrial Dynamics. I was completely seduced by Mathematical Programming - dropped my graduate studies of Stochastic Processes and devoted my career to it. Met Dantzig once at Stanford; I was talking gibberish like an awkward teenager meeting a pretty girl at a dance or something.

Hell, I still talk gibberish (^_^)

Man that takes me back - Maslow! - you crack me up, DUDE !!!
