Sounds like a lot of work -- but it paid off :)

   I'm about to be a manual labourer again. I'm about to set seige on this 
house and spruce it up. I'm looking forward to seeing my toes...  ;)

    Heh, that's why I said 'bl00dy' in my first post.  :)

If that makes me a geek then every guy with a hammer in his garage is a
carpenter.

This is a matter of degrees I suppose. I will say that 99% of the tech
conversations in P.O-T are beyond my level of knowledge. I didn't go to
college. I don't understand the notations used at mathworld.wolfram.com.

The time we spend at work is HUGE. How many men define themselves by the
church or bar in which they spend as little as an hour a week? I have
been a salesman or a laborer at least 40 hours a week my entire working
life.

Geeks as a group are much more intelligent than laborers, but there are
a few of we dirty f***ers out there who would surprise you.

I wonder if she's interested in purchasing models. My modeling methods
produce things which hers cannot (and vice-versa).

       If she can do what I've seen, then she can do yours. She's a skilled 
lady.

      She'll like the challenge. Go for it.

Does knowing Graham's law of gas diffusion make me a physicist?

Well you do seem to project that identity and enjoy that role.

That said, maybe you should try college.

For my part, I abominate all honorable respectable toils, trials, and
tribulations of every kind whatsoever. ... I abandon the glory and
distinction of such offices to those who like them.
