Tel me why is it when I buy chicken legs with back attached all the pieces come from the same side of the chicken ? Where does the other side go ? Do they sell them to someone else ?

in my case, the "Advanced" is supposed to eliminate the need the need for glasses, except for possibly reading in certain scenarios (teeny print, dim light, etc). i assume i'll still need reading glasses for rebuilding rm2s and such, but no big deal. no guarantees, of course, but it seemed like a good bet.
belated Good Morning and hello! you and Lisa are my favorite mods.
is it ok if i suck up to you a little more?
i kinda always dance on the edge of receiving infractions, so i curry favor every chance i get...
I thought by advanced that you were just joking about the xray glasses. Good luck with all that Dennis. Get someone to drive you!!!!!
My bosses own the company, so i do what i like, within reason. I work for them is all.
What i do like is when people like - oh, i dunno - sales managers/operations managers try to order me to do things and suddenly i am stone deaf and develop a middle finger twitch.

yeh, Atari was my first real job. ET? like the movie? musta been after my time, or maybe in the console/computer division. i worked in coin-op (the big games in bars, pizza parlors, etc) the only time i dealt with the other divisions was when they totally F'd up and asked us to bail them out
funny, you should mention Atari, tho. i was gonna respond to Mr. T's post with something like:
when i first got promoted into management, i went to the founder Nolan Bushnell and basically said "i really don't know what the hell i'm supposed to do as a manager. this is new stuff". he said to not sweat it and "make every decision as if you owned the company and you'll do fine." best career advice i ever heard.
sounds like Jim is taking the same advice in his own way
ET the game it is said it may have something to do with Ataris downfall.

Can't believe it was found. One of the worst games ever played. On that note kangaroo and seaQuest still hold a place in my heart as greatest games.

LOL. that's funny, but there's a lot of truth in that article. i quit in 1980 partly for reasons mentioned in the article.
When Warner Bros. bought Atari they really, really didn't understand the business. It was cyclical, seasonal and had hits and misses. All of us oldtimers understood that. The new management didn't. They spent money like drunken sailors on shore leave. I ran a manufacturing division that had 4-500 people reporting to me during peak times. I almost got fired because i refused to hire full-time employees. I only hired temp contractors for the boom periods, but the idiots from Warner thought it was boom forever. I knew the boom wouldn't last and we'd end up saving money with the temps. i also knew hiring someone as a temp would give them the chance to secure a better job, so it was a win for the employees in the long run. I learned all that from the managers before me who had navigated previous cycles.
As I recall, Warner/Atari ended up booking the largest quarterly or annual loss in Silicon Valley history at that time, but i had already left. i joined a company to design computer stuff without a single soul reporting to me. life was good for a while
fun times...
