And I used to cycle on a daily basis across his first work, the
Clifton Suspension Bridge, which was built long before cars where
invented, and it now has a two-lane A road going across it. Brunel
even thought about the visual appearance of the bridge -- he placed
the Clifton end higher by about a metre to make it look horizontal!
Back to current engineering: those guys who made the hardware and
especially the software required to build multi-million transistor
CPUs can't really be complete morons.
Tony is right, let's stop this thread or he will put us on his spam
filter.
