Hardly. Would another 100% increase do so? No! How about another 100%? Another 1000%? Perhaps it will. Of course this is all based on assumptions and I think it will not happen any time soon. Just the same as the subject. Will engineer rule the world? Not so soon... Why? Because we think politicians are more suitable for that job. ;-) Leave the tough job of ruling the world to them so we can still have people to discuss interesting topics in PIClist. ;-) -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
