Mary, have you read Atlas Shrugged? It seems, like most people, you have little idea what it takes to make the world go round. Dagny swapped her diamond bracelet for a bracelet made of a new kind of metal a guy had made for his wife, who scoffed at her husband's creation. By crikey, Google is great! Thank goodness for whizzo engineers and scientists. Ask Google about Atlas Shrugged and Dagny swapping her bracelet for Hank's wife's one. Here's one link: en.wikipedia.org See "Bracelet". Mqurice

Mary, >That is exactly what I mean. How much of the software require any knowledge of mathematics or "engineering".> Obviously you have no idea of the engineering discipline. Even the mundane boring engineers in their cubicals do a fair amount of engineering. Making things work properly is not as easy as it looks, even with the abundant tools that other engineers have developed for them. How much software have you written? Anyone who has tried to develop a fairly complex piece of software, finds how difficult it is to make it work the way one wants it to. -Arun
