thanks Gary.
Thanks Ray,

I am reminded of a cartoon that appeared in the engineering handbook at
university during my undergraduate days.

There are two guys sitting at a bar, both in suits but one obviously
has been drinking for a while and is looking down and out and dishevelled as he stares into his glass.

He is saying to the other guy, "I can understand being replaced by a computer ... but replaced by a single transistor!"
