Randy old buddy, you were the last person I'd expect to be mocking my prediction about PLCs..!! .... Then to rub salt into the wound, you not only publicize, but even joke about my recent escape (by motorcycle) from the canadian winter, and make it sound as though I'm just lounging around the beaches in florida sipping on your cheap american whisky.... Well I'm not at the beach, but rather hiding in one of those tin houses that you americans call homes just waiting for the inevitable visit from one of your immigration swat teams,,,,, do have a good stockpile of whiskey however... and I'm warm....
As for Shah03, you posed a good question, but I'm still sticking with my prediction, and I'm going to suggest that you pass it on to your instructor... Even though I'm a bit peeved at his recent comments<grin> I still believe he's one of the best instructors out there, and I'm sure he'll give you a few marks for making the effort.. Also tell him that he'd better plan on retiring before 2009..
Steve,,,best not to mock Mr. Gates..
