----------------------------Original message---------------------------- There I was, sitting in the Electrical Engineering Dept. computer lab here at the U of U, using one of the Sun Sparc 10 workstations. The fellow (#1) on the workstation in front of me wanted to do something complicated in some application. He was stuck, left for a short while and on coming back struck up a conversation with the fellow (#2) sitting beside him. This was the exchange: #1 Do you know how to do this? It says to ask a knowlegable person. #2 No, you'll have to ask someone who knows more than I do. #1 Well, I asked the people here who are supposed to be knowlegable. #2 No one in this lab is knowlegable. #1 No one at all? #2 Its kind of like the Wizard of Oz when he tells the Scarecrow, 'I can't give you a brain, but I can give you a diploma.' I managed not to laugh, though I could not supress a smile -- or sharing that delightful last line. Have a great summer! Hope to see many of you at WAML this fall.
