didnt even remotly say dont bother!where did that come from?I said lean heavily in direction of computers and the operating systems for these machines,,surely even you would agree this is where they are heading.as for them not fixing themselves your correct(today),but how many have backup systems,that automaticly switch to a good one?are you saying they dont exist now?I have right here in this lab equipment built thirty years ago that will tell you whats wrong with itself!the next step, and its already here,believe it or not, is to have the machine eject the bad boards,and even reorder its own replacement parts.one guy in a shop can run multiple machines now,not stand in front of one machne turning out the same part day after day.before long they will actually repair themsselves, why not? but it will take people with computer skills to write the programs AND to keep them running.why have a man setup a machine?their slow ,they cost about 100 times what a machine costs,they get sick,they take vacations,they gripe,or whine with no pay raise,wont work with no benifits.do you seriously dont believe your job is headed there?if not your fooling yourself..how exactly has your job changed over the last say twenty years?notice I didnt tell him not to go into this field,i told him to take the job,,i told him to learn all he could about the basics of the job..on every machine he could get his hands on..without that he's simply another educated idiot..BUT..i also told him to be ready for the future, to make sure he has the skills neccessary to adapt,to make sure hes keeping abreast of changes and the direction his chosen feild is heading.have you never seen a computer check a part,or run a program? how long before some school kid takes your job,all he has to do is make a computer to read diagrams.how many people does it take to setup a machine?modern machines today has cut labor by how much? my just graduated from high school grandaughter is writing the programs to do this now! just like i told him,by the time he graduates he'll be behind anyway,teachers cant keep up anymore.but like you say,and i agree,he needs to know how the machines work and what they do ,the basics dont change.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall.
