That would be Jethro D'Bodine....hee dawgie, listen to that boy cipher!

>I guess she never heard of Jethro either? :o)

>>I'm not so great with math, but I taught a lady who has a PhD in math, something she didn't know. She and her husband were in our Bible fellowship class and after learning she held the degree, I asked if she could expound on gazintahs. She said she had never heard of it. I was dumbfounded! How could anyone with a PhD in math not know about gazintahs. Finally, curiousity overcame her and she had to know about these "gazintahs". Showing utter disbelief, I went ahead and explained that 6 gazintah 18 - 3 times, and it gazintahs 24 - 4 times, etc. It turns out she actually did know about gazintahs, but she just had a different name for it. You may have guessed, she ain't from round here! :}

>>>>She'll figure it out eventually. Sometimes you just luck into it. I had no idea what I wanted to do when I started college. I liked Math, so I thought I'd major in Math, but had no idea what I would do with my degree. Be an actuarial or a teacher ... neither sounded appealing to me (I never told my Dad that because he was a teacher <g>). Anyway, when I went to the counselor to help me decide what courses to take for my 2nd semester, she suggested an Intro to Computers, because she thought I might be interested. Keep in mind that this was in the 70's, computers were not on the radar scope of most 18/19 year old kids, so I had no idea what to expect, but always being somewhat science-minded, it sounded interesting, so I took the course. The rest is history. <g>

>>>I thought about teaching math once upon a time too, but when I was in grade 12, my math teacher walked into class one day and announced that because he was on the committee setting the departmental (provincial) math exams, he probably would be unable to make some of the classes for the next while. Then he added, "But Alan has agreed to teach class for the next couple of weeks." Of course, that was the first I'd heard about it, and horror of horrors, it meant I actually had to do my homework during that period. I was cured.

>>>>>>I tried early on to get my 3 sons interested in programming. No such luck. They *use* computers (and not just for games <g>), but they never got bit by the programming bug. My youngest son, while not interested in engineering per se, is at least in a somewhat related field ... he's studying to be an architect and his real interest is in space architecture. He's finishing up his senior year now, but probably also needs to go on to get a Masters before he has any hope of actually getting a job.
