Hi,
As a mature age designer I totally agree. You wouldn't believe what I can design & draw, but you could never build it, even though the computer says its ok. To much sitting on their young arses, in airconditioned comfort, and most never see what it is they have designed. By the time their design hits the populous, they are well into the next throw-away-design to replace it. Not designed to be fixed, throw-away-and-buy-a-new-one. No thought (engage brain style), but its computer designed, so must be right. Little do they know (or care) that the computer is just a fancy pencil (with the same brains as the pencil), and its the body pushing the pencil which should be doing all the thinking, and talking to the poor guys who have to build and repair said item of machinery.
Not my scene anymore. Prefer the age of built-to-last, and easy to work-on-IF-something-does-go-wrong.
That's progress, so they tell me. Whinge over.
Now back to my model boats
