I see you have spent time researching the old fashioned way

The internet wasn't allowed for school reports until after I was through with college the first time around. The World Wide Web didn't even exist for the first half of my life.

Edit: it's kind of crazy that my career revolves around something that didn't even exist when people were still asking me what I wanted to be when I grew up. Although, "engineer" was a frequent answer to that question, and that's certainly in my title now, but it's an entirely different kind of engineering than I meant back then.
