Hmm, this doesn't strike a chord with me too well. MrsGGB has a higher IQ than I do. Granted, I am more technical, but only because she gave up her career to be a SAHM (she was a systems analyst working for HP). I'm not exactly a slouch either, I'm a hardware designer that has become well known in my niche. Anyway, as far as keeping my stuff to myself, nothing could be further from the truth. I get pleasure out of teaching what I've learned to others (actually, truth be told it is probably more a charge out of showing off what I know, LOL), and have built a business doing that.

Burg, as far as ground cars and pace of technology, I actually see the other side of the coin. Look how far we've come in the last 100 years compared to how long it took to get where were were 100 years ago. The pace of technology seems to be increasing exponentially.
