Another one (another uncle) holds an MSEE, was an Air Force navigator, works for GD on stealth fighters, and is a colonel in the USAF. These are guys that plowed with a mule, picked cotton, cleared timber, and jumped cowpies for the first 18 years of their lives. Perhaps the snot-nosed northerners who make these types of comments are the most ignorant of all. -- Randy Yates Digital Signal Labs http://www.digitalsignallabs.com
