0. We prefer to work in a darkened room to add to the mystery of what we actually do... (Notice that I started the line above with a zero to throw off the VB guys)

Didn't work. The VB guys have already done their build and gone to happy hour, leaving the C boys to count their curly braces.
The 3-legged stool of understanding is held up by history, languages, and mathematics. Equipped with these three you can learn anything you want to learn. But if you lack any one of them you are just another ignorant peasant with dung on your boots. R. A. H.

Correct, None, software people don't deal with hardware. Q: How many hardware engineers does it take to change a light bulb? A: None, call the engineering tech. Q: How many engineering technicians does it take to change a light bulb? A: None, that's a facility maintenance problem. Q: How many Facilities people does it take to change a light bulb? A: Fifteen: 1: Facility Maintenance Technician - Comes out to inspect the light bulb. 2: Environmental Engineer - Must specify a RoHS replacement. 3: Configuration Manager - Must determine the proper LED replacement. 4: Procurement Specialist - Must source the spec'd replacement. 5: Purchaser - Must order the replacement. You didn't think it would be in stock did you? 6: Receiver - Must verify the correct part came in. 7: Job Control - Gotta have the job number. 8: Maintenance Tech (finally!!!) - to replace the light bulb. 9: QA - to inspect the job. 10-14: Fire department - To put out the fire that the 100W LED light started. 15: Accountant - to bill all the costs of the building replacement (with all new LED lighting) back to the original software group. Did I miss anyone?
