OK, I have a pretty kooky scenario, but bear with me.
Computer:
Mid-2009 Macbook Pro
Mac OS X 10.6.8 (DO NOT WANT LION, at least not until more programs are updated properly)
2.8Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB DDR3 RAM
512 MB GeForce 9600M GT

Parallels 5
Windows XP 32-bit

I'm sure this has come up before, but none of the search attempts I made dug up anything, so here goes:
I was having a discussion on another forum where someone claimed to be a "self-taught engineer". While I don't think you should call yourself an engineer without a bachelor's degree, many...
Hi,
