     rscasny  You need an Integration Engineer!! and lately Avionics Engineer! Ie I get things to work that don't or shouldn't.  ~~ Cris

    BTW the should be check boxes that way we could pick more than 1!!!!

    imageso to sum it up I do software (C & Java, sometimes Perl (websites), BSEE, and Embedded Engineer (all sides hardware, software, and interface). Ya, I write Apps sometimes even and fix broken ***! And that is how you build a Flight Sim... Now about the aircraft itself, hmm, a Mechanic, Designer, and Chief Crash Dummy! LOL oh no, one more Technical Writer. WAIT I also am a scratch cook, and clean the DAM Loo!!!  oh, and I have been working on two books!  I love my TV X-Files, Law and Order, and Star Trek Enterprise and I try to hit the pool a few times a week, I don't ever get to everything all the time...

    Crap, Tempus Fugit,  Time Flys!!

     kmikemoo yea, on Thursday if I were lucky they would dump a computer of some sort with little or no docs, then just for good measure later in the day of course, they would drop a box (peripheral of some sort) and say can you get this thing to talk to the computer we just dropped off.. And I want an update before Wednesday of next week. most of the crap was mill so I had to contact the usual suspects and this was being done without the internet!! 

    The reason I love this job is that I have lifetime job security!!  And too many folks that well don't know f*** about anything! it's like somebody taking their computer to BEST BUY's Geek Squad!! to get it fixed!

    phoenixcomm Laughing  Absolutely!  Truthfully, I was going to tell you that I was going to steal that line but it's so good... I don't feel qualified.

    Sometimes you just have to honor the Masters. Cred to you, Cris.  Raised hands
