Alright, where to begin...

Jon,

First off, thank you for once again showing me that I have a lot to learn about the people that hang out on this forum. I am quickly coming to the conclusion that the doctors that I see here are a small subset of the population that does indeed rise above the rest. I am seeing much more technical expertise, willingness to be open minded, and a more in-depth of understanding. I respectfully request that you and others here consider the fact that this is not what I am usually exposed to. On the front lines I continually see practices that are poorly run, with crappy IT, and doctors that seem to be utterly clueless. Mind you all, not all of the docs I know are that way, some are downright fantastic, but they are in the minority.

Wayne,
Real-time control software? Impressive! Sigh...you have me nostalgic for the days when I used to draw on paper all my little boxes and arrows that represented all my little pointers in whatever C program I was hacking on. And I do miss doing my own memory management.

NOT!!

Bert,
Thank you for coming to my rescue and for the complement on my writing skills! You are quite correct, sometimes what I say does not come out the way I meant. My forever curse.

Everyone,

My sincerest apologies. It appears I have once again turned left when I wanted to turn right. As Bugs Bunny would say, "I knew I should have taken that turn at Albuqurque." However, it appears everyone probably knows where I am coming from. It's all, as usual, a matter of giving everyone a chance and realizing what kind of backgrounds and past experiences we all have and that those backgrounds and past experiences can be vastly different.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

Regards,
James Summerlin
