Hi, KB. At least you did eventually listen, take note ----- and LEARN. You would be surprised just how many people never do. My boss has 12 full-time permanent operators on his payroll and one casual part-timer who is now 61 years old. About 1/2 of them are (more or less and sometimes) capable of telling whether something is wrong with their machine before it gets to be a 'major'. The others are far more interested in making it through to 4.00 pm or thereabouts -- otherwise known as 'Beer O'clock'. One poster mentioned common sense. Maybe the World Wildlife Fund ought to get involved here 'cos it seems to me that common sense is now a seriously endangered species. There are a lot of people out there who appear to be crosses between computers and prostitutes. One of the truest sayings I have ever come across is this: "If you ever stop learning, you are dead from the neck up." There is another interesting little sidelight to this. The first group generally do better work and get better feedback from the clients than the 'Beer O'clock' brigade. Keep learning, Mate. You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
