It would be a sad life indeed if one had to earn a degree in any
subject before being *allowed* to state an opinion. I pity your kids
Tony; must have been hell for them growing up with a father who
refused to answer their questions with a stark "I'm sorry child, I'm
unqualified, and so cannot answer your inquiry. Go ask a physicist why
the sky is blue and bother me no more!".

I have opinions about a great many things, and yes I'll admit I didn't
spend 7 years earning a diploma in advanced balistics before I ever
kicked a football, and never studied aeronautics before making my
first paper plane, but both turned out just fine.

Now maybe you could riddle me this, Tony: What makes you qualified to
advise your customers of the best hardware and/or software products to
run their businesses? Presuming they're a diverse bunch, with a range
of requirements, you must have one hell of a CV there!
