    kudos to the PC community! i've been keeping quiet on the tech stuff lately because DH has been either too scarce or too engrossed in his studying for me to want to disturb him, (plus scarce internet availability and a pile of other reasons, isn't life fun) but i haven't noticed any problem topics that haven't been addressed pretty well here lately.

    granted, DH and i worked hard to put the information/power in YOUR hands so we expected this eventually. but wow. seriously. wow.

    i am proud. and DH, if he wasn't dead asleep, would also be proud. you may not all be techs, you may not have lived that life 12+ hours a day 6 days a week for a good chunk of your professional lives (and for that he will continue to consider himself THE prius guy :p), but you've got a great grip on the regular issues and the process to figure out the new stuff.

    i'm glad. :)

    We all had great teachers!

    PS. How's it going with everything? If you've posted I have missed it.

    The reason for the good responses on the technical questions is easy: I steer away from trying to answer them! B)

    The purpose of the teacher is not to just give the answer but to teach the student how to find the answer for themselves, thus rendering the teacher eventually obsolete.

    You and DH have been good teachers.

    happy to be obsolete then. (psst, how does one render one's principal investigator obsolete? :p)

    things are going as best as can be expected, really. unemployment sucks, he's trying his best to cope with it. but we are making good progress on treating the treatable pain issues- thankful to finally have a good doctor.

    i'm stressed as usual, i think i should have anticipated something more like 5 years of the worst crap imaginable when i signed that acceptance letter. i'm still hoping for a spring 2009 graduation date and if things go well in the next couple of months it's definitely feasible.

    to quote a good song, "18 months seems like f***ing eternity"

    The best teachers teach their students how to learn as well as find the solutions to problems.

    With 26 years as a mechanic I do what I can. Unfortunately I got out of the trade before the Prius came to Australia. Well fortunately really, now I make real money and don't come home filthy every night. I also don't have to put up with cuts, scrapes, burns, bumps, broken, nails, etc.

    I was also the diagnostic guy. Fortunately I was on an hourly rate so I knew I could pay the bills each week.
