Here is your quote, "I was > working for Philips when we created the CD". I was working for Philips at that time and that is true. I used and tested the CD drives before they became public as well. And I knew the engineers who was working on them. And we chatted and socialized a lot. I don't know how much I had any input, but they must have picked up a few things from my experience anyway. And when any engineer had any problems, I got called. So is there anything in the CD drive that came from me? Very probable to be honest. -- Bill Gateway MX6124 ('06 era) 1 of 3 - Windows XP SP2

The only way you get your point across is by beating it to death. You always get the last word and think you have won. People give up talking to you because you are like the "Energizer Bunny". I know you have more to say...but I have said mine.

Boy are you lost! There is no winning or losing here. There is no competition at all. Nor should there be. It just doesn't exists. All that goes on here is people helping people. And there are not any right or wrong opinions or answers. As what works for one, may or may not be helpful to somebody else. That is just how life works here. And no grandeur from me. As I haven't said anything about myself for decades. But when people like you start attacking others, I can't let it continue and not to say anything. So it is people like you who make me do so. And if you are looking for somebody to blame, I suggest looking in the mirror. And while I was in school getting my EE degree, I was never competitive or anything. Nor did I care about being competitive. And I thought I was just working hard enough to get by. And to my surprise, not only did I pass with flying colors, but tops in my class. And I also had the highest test scores they had seen in the last 5 years. So this allowed many opportunities to open up for me that otherwise wouldn't have been possible. And it wasn't my own doing as I wasn't really trying, but the doing of others. As I really didn't care if I just squeaked by to be to honest. And who knows what would have happened if I actually tried to apply myself. -- Bill Gateway MX6124 ('06 era) 1 of 3 - Windows XP SP2 |
