In Gerald's case it IS expertise. He managed to:
1) Design dual CPU cards that include SCSI on
an extremely small board with 11 layers.
Dual implies SMP. No one doubts that he achieved
the job at hand on an accelerator card.
Experience != expertise
2) He managed to design the Pegasos, prove to
MAI that there are bugs they didn't even know about
and fix them, under MAI's name (the fix Eyetech used)
So? I think you need to look up the definition of expert.
3) He is known to IBM's production managers by name.
ROFLMAO!!!!! So am I bud, so am I. Which production managers, now come on give me their names and Ill call them up and ask them. Ill also tell you what percentage of the IBM's "production managers" that
is with stats to back me up.
So what if he is known to some IBM production managers - I mean excuse me while I fall down on the floor and beg for forgiveness. Well I would, but
I've got to stop laughing first.
