Engineers need stories, too!

摘要

Now that another year has wound down, the deluge of hotel technical seminars for 2006 is finally over! Attendees came from near and far to hear what vendors had to say about their wares. It's true; I can get a lot of this information off the Web. So, why do I go to these seminars? Because I want to become excited and delighted with new ideas that, in the end, will make my job easier. If the presenter tells me a good story about his or her products, techniques,rnand experiences, it may help me to look at my problems through different eyes.
