C.A.D. - Computer Aided Design......well no, not really, it really stands for Can't Actually, Draw !!! :o
( I have to admit CAD is a useful tool, but to use it properly , one still has to be able to draw. CAD is no more than an "ever sharp" pencil, creativity resides in the mind, not in the computer )
Why is it, that the species Homo Stupidicus always seems to rise to the top of any corporate structure??
Perhaps it confirms the old adage, stuff floats!

You've got all of that exactly right! Any attempt to conceptualize on CAD can be "out-shined" as far as creative thinking goes with a felt tip on a pad of paper! CAD is great AFTER you've got a decent concept nailed down that needs the kind of tweeking that constantly having to draw the whole thing just to change the relationship of two details to each other is stifling! And it does a nice job on engineering drawngs, too.

But the actual thinking part still happens in you head, travels down your arm, through your hand, into the marker and out onto a piece of paper ... I got to where I just sat and watched it happen! :o

Those poor kids were unknowingly thrown into the deep end and told to swim! hock: They were instantly in so far over their heads ... it was really sad, but then,they were upper, upper management's choice.


THAT was the Peter Principle in practice -- the guy who had just been promoted to Sr. V.P. had no business being there, he wanted to wield power and replacing all of us with a trio of "Yes" men was the best he could do!
