ROTFLMAO. Genius and experience are two entirely different things. At 53 years old I have a lot of experience and so can do stuff (in my area of expertise) fast enough that it perhaps APPEARS to be genius. 'Tis not I assure you. What I have discovered however is that one does not have to be a genius to make a contribution, which is lucky for me. John W.

I suppose it is a good thing, though, to get down this much closer to the foundations of an OS and learn what really goes on. I need to know this stuff, so I will learn it. Then, I'll trade you knowledge for knowledge. Every time you describe a new setup with virtual machines inside virtual machines processing millions of records in seconds, or you craft some brilliant solution to a database problem, I quietly salute you and dream of the day when I know what you know. It tickles me silly on the odd occasion when I know something you don't and I get to share it with you. You and the other genius gurus on this list are my heroes.
