We got to know each other a bit and one day he says to me that I should switch and get an ME degree. When I was switching from the EE track to CS track in the late '80s I was working as a electronics tech and was asked to help the local ME who was redesigning the manufacturing floor and adding some nice new equipment like surface mount solder station which was relatively new back then. Technology gets smarter and speeds forward at an ever increasing rate, I feel like I get more dumb and slower at an ever increasing rate.
