“can not have been an engineer”? Fairly rash judgment of intellectual skills, don’t you think? There’s gotta be more to it than spelling and written communication skills. I understand that Einstein did poorly in school also.

I think you may be interested, and maybe have a contact route to TechRepublic. I first contacted them through articles in Lockergnome, and signed on to some of their newsletters etc.

I have now withdrawn from them and tried to inform Richard Crossett via a reply to his e-mail to me on withdrawing with the following comments, but even this fails to find his site or he dosn’t want to know!

I tried to reply thus:

Dear Richard,

I have withdrawn because your newsletters and web site do no function, there is no way of supplying feedback that works, nither does your download system actually allow one to download the application requested. On trying to get some sort of communication to your site via new projects, as a last attempt, your system failed to accept my attempt to contact onyone, and inmformed me that my registration had expired!

Any sort of service that fails to deliver anything other than its front page
editorial is a useless waste of my time.

Your system also would not accept me as a pro member even though; as an ex experimental engineering, senior development engineer, for british
aerospace, for 25 years, at its r&d site at filton, bristol,uk, supporting
11,000 graduate engineers at its height, and having been involved in the
design and manufacture of computers since their inception using the first
texas beetles, (ic’s) to you, that were developed in conjunction with
british aerospace for the rapier project, and have been building computers ever since. I would consider that I should be regarded as an expert rather than pro in the hardware side of the industry.

Regards, Mike Wright.
