Andy Grove (do you know who he is?) once said - Only paranoid can survive.
I remember there was a brand name called IBM PC and another one - Compaq. But I haven’t been able to find them for many years and I wonder where they are now? Let me know just in case you've found them. So why not take this as a friendly reminder from a heartbroken customer?  Being a "professional" requires more inner qualities such as courtesy and compassion, not just to have a smart mouth and know how to play with screw drivers. Or maybe I have mistaken the title as the "most vulnerable penguin"?
