Ann, good one and yes, Microsoft would seem to fit right into your top 9. One for you. Being in software, you may have heard this one, but, only one way to find out. Stolen from the Sun thread:
Three engineers are riding in a car: an electrical engineer, chemical
engineer, and a Microsoft engineer. Suddenly, the car stalls and stops
by the side of the road. The three engineers look at each other with
bewilderment wondering what could be wrong. The electrical engineer, not knowing much about mechanics, suggests, "Let's strip down the electronics of the car and try to trace where a fault might have occurred." The Chemical engineer, not knowing much about electronics, suggests, "Maybe the fuel has become emulsified and is causing a blockage somewhere in the system." The Microsoft engineer suggests, "Why don't we close all the windows, get out, get back in, open the windows again, and maybe it'll work."
And, yes, very proud, and not a small part of it are the facts that his alma mater is Cal, Berkeley and his major was EE/CS, aka EEKS!
Have a nice evening,
