Dear Rambi- Happy Birthday And tell CW this. When Mr X and I were attending A Cal State school, getting our undergrad degrees, Mr. X became disillusioned with computer science - he hated the math and the undergrad classes. He said to me "What should I do? I've always liked Geology maybe I should do that." I gave him the standard line my parents gave me- do what you love. So Mr X switched to Geology- which he enjoyed. ANd he found a niche where he worked with computers doing groundwater modeling and meteorology. So all looked fine- until he graduated. Then he found himself drifting into working with computers- but he didn't have the right degree. He was brilliant but unrecognized because he worked as a tech. Other people took the credit for his innovations, or didn't even listen to him at all. SOOO, he went back and got the "right" degree, comp sci- and NOW he is recognized for the brilliant guy he is. He says I should have told him to keep his eye on the GOAL, of what he wanted and not encourage him to take the easy "fun" path. Now I take no responsibility for his choice- I gave him the best I could give him at the time- and in LUCID moments he knows that- but maybe CW can use this. I think there is a moral in there somewhere.
