To meet future requirements requires effort in the interim. Studying to meet or surpass those future requirements is by no means an indication of an unqualified person. It's an indication of a person who is engaged in the _process_ that every computer person must go through. The only people who do not need to engage in this process are experienced people doing repetitive work. Actually, it should. The fact that it doesn't means you do a lot of things by hand that you should have scripted. There is a positive as well as negative side to that. Doing things manually results in weaker scripting skills, but higher intimancy with the system. Since you can't script what you don't understand, knowing the system is more important than being able to script. After all, anyone can buy a book to learn how to script. To get more abstract, which is better, a specialized super game machine which can beat Chess masters, or a learning machine which can evaluate a situation and adapt to it? ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
