Thanks! Places like this remind me of being in high school. I ended up in ad avanced physics course that devoted a significant block of time to gear networks like this. It was actually the most fun part of that class, as far as learning goes. The teacher had severe narcolepsy and would fall asleep writing on the board or at his desk, so we did get to goof around a lot... lol
The job hunt is not going well. I thought I had an interview this week, but they decided to ghost me instead. It wouldn't have been a great fit, but the area was nice. It was on the west shore of Lake Michigan. So... I'm still looking.
