Thanks to all for their responses. I have never been
one to shy away from asking questions although my grandmother, who raised me,
used to tone me down if I got on the adults nerves too much. Mostly I
find that people love to tell you what they know and folks who are afraid to admit
they do not know something know less. Based on my high school physics
class, I was certainly surprised to find the open debate about flow, though.
People talk about what is the greatest invention. My
living in Florida
dictates me to say ‘air conditioners’. (did not want to
get an AC discussion going since we just finished DC, grin). I started
working with mainframe computers when OS 360 came out and there were tons of
reference materials put out by IBM. I was often frustrated on how much I
had to comb thru to find one piece of info and how nice it would be for things
to be highly cross-referenced. Google and other search engines rank as
number one to me as I can find so much so quickly now.
