During black days of my existance in Romania when the label comunist was apllied to every surrounding breath, I discovered a book coming out among other, shy like a fragile flower through rocky ground.
It was a translation done on 1988 from genuine:
DIGITAL DESIGN WITH STANDARD MSI AND LSI, by Thomas R. Blakeslee
1975-John Wiley & Sons

Because I haven't read the english book, I don't like to translate back, from romanian to english, because I'm afraid do not mystify the original words.
If someone own the book please read the 15 chapter. He has only 5 pages. I haven't saw such huge irony concerning to us, like human race.

What has to do with the thread ?.

Aka J, your thoughts are valuable. Please tell me what do you think. Especially about 15.4 chapter: "Engineer like illusion seller".
We are able to make a blind to see ? It really worth that ?

I apologize if these don't match yours expectations.
It was just another point of view concerning to developers engineers and their behavior in society.
Read and you never regret the time spent. Even if you agreed or not with writer's thoughts.
