	You souldn't be a programmer would you? Just wondering.......

> Hardware development is a mid-level
>IQ activity that requires, almost exclusively, analytic skills.

	Low IQ level activity? Why don't you read up on what IQ even stands for. 
Without that "low IQ level" hardware person  your "high IQ level" pissant ass 
wouldn't exist. Give credit where credit is due and don't be such a cocky 
idiot.

	Why don't you try programming the equivalent of a Pentium chip into your next 
Micrsosft Excel. Not so simple, is it? The chip isn't made to have Excel in 
it. Neither is Excel made to be a processor.

	HAHAHAHAAH. And without those faster processors and better graphics, and 
better HARDWARE. You wouldn't have anything to program because my 8 year old 
brother would be programming WP programs for himself by now because he would 
have learned it in school. If there were no HARDWARE advancements tons of the 
current software couldn't run. There would not be the wealth of software we 
have today.

IMHO Opinion without eachother your both screwed so get of your "high IQ 
level" horse and shut up.
