That's why *I* got into engineering - to meet girls! (I'm wondering when that starts to happen? Is there a scheduled milestone for it? :-) I recall this cartoon that I think was originated by Kliban but maybe was redone by Sergio Argones in Mad Magazine. It depicts this slick looking guy in a double breasted suit surrounded by beautiful women admiring him as he's walking down the street. This cop is kicking this old blind guy into the street and yelling at him: "Out of the way you swine! An *Engineer* is coming!" (Or insert your profession as desired. Maybe I need a version that says "Ada Programmer".) I wish I could find a copy of it in .JPG format. It would make good wallpaper - symbolizing the high level of respect given to those of us in the engineering professions. :-) MDC -- Marin David Condic Senior Software Engineer Pace Micro Technology Americas www.pacemicro.com Enabling the digital revolution e-Mail: marin.condic@pacemicro.com Web: http://www.mcondic.com/ "Smark" wrote in message news:9ask6e$jgk3@cui1.lmms.lmco.com... > > > > Yeah, man, chicks dig programmers :) > > I'm still waiting on the first two, but I have three beautiful girls on > my arms ... > > > >
