I'm spending a lot of time train- ing people: "You can do this, but you can't do that. You can't have a 2-mil annular ring here." I feel like that's part of what us older guys are here for—to share our knowledge. I tell people that I'm training PhDs every day. That makes you at least an adjunct professor. I guess that's why they call it leading-edge technology, and it's good to be in that world. I'm doing something different, something new, and it may be the next wave of the future. It sounds like it's some pretty advanced stuff, but you're having fun with it. Yes, you try to have fun with it, but it makes for a lot of late nights and strenuous days. It's always good to push the limits and learn along the way. In today's world, if you are not learning, you are losing. Is there anything else you want to add? I really appreciate your magazine. I look for- ward to every issue that comes out, and I sug- gest that other designers should pick it up. It's been great catching up with you, Albert. Thanks. ank you, Andy. DESIGN007
