Woody- My line of work is Communications. I am a professional "explainer". Companies ask me to make ideas usable through media materials, presentations, speeches, spreadsheets, etc. There ARE technophobes on the list, mostly in the form of the silent, sniveling lurkers. Not that it's wrong to be either a sniveling lurker, or a technophobe, welcome to all. G. Matthew Bulley Director Bulley-Hewlett & Associates www.bulley-hewlett.com Cary, NC USA 888.468.4880 tollfree

My sense is that G. Matthew has articulated the thoughts of many of us most eloquently, and I add my thanks to those already expressed. (Note to G. Matthew: What is your line of work again?) My only slight cavil with his compelling description of this group (and BTW let us all pause to marvel at how a brand new technology has allowed us to share information, opinions and, yes, news of blessed events from time to time among like-minded citizens) is that I do not think there are many techno-*phobes* hanging around here. There are those who seem to have a dazzling grasp of the physics, electronics, and chemistry concepts that explain why our beasts bray or balk; there are those who haven't studied the engineering, but have a lot of practical experience and knowledge; and there are the literary types like me who are clueless about the science, but not fearful of getting our hands dirty and always anxious to learn. And the more I pull things apart and examine them, the less hesitant I become and the more respectful I am of those who know how to put it all together |
