It will be interesting. However, its to bad that greedy American CEOs have
ruined engineering as a profession...


Woe is us! The situation is so bad in America that its no wonder that
the French won the X prize... or was it the Koreans or the Brasilians?
Whomever... doesn't matter, could'nt be Americans as they are far too
busy is self pity and loathing to actually acomplish anything!

You can be a slave to your possessions and not owe a penny.

Very true - but the fastest and easiest way of being a slave to your
posessions is by living beyond your means. Carrying a persistent credit
card balance is often (but not always) a sign of living beyond your means.
