Ettore Bugatti, maker of the finest cars of his day, was once asked why his cars had less than perfect brakes. He replied something like, "Any fool can make a car stop. It takes a genius to make a car go."
interesting. back when i was doing a lot of performance driving stuff (mostly bmw club race track schools), i made the following observation: you can tell someone has become an intermediate driver because they start regularly trashing their brakes. you can tell someone has become an advanced driver when they learn how to go even faster while not trashing their brakes. cheers, richard -- Richard Welty rwelty@averillpark.net Averill Park Networking 518-573-7592 Java, PHP, PostgreSQL, Unix, Linux, IP Network Engineering, Security
