Never was good at math related things. I'd get it wrong about 47% of the time. But that meant I got it right the other 63%.

You are 110% right!

In this world there are three kinds of people..those that can count.. and those that cannot.

There are 10 types of people. Those that understand binary and those that don't.

A pessimist says the glass is half empty.
An engineer says the glass hasn't been sized properly.

Better than an economist. "Oh sure, it works in practice. But how does it work in theory?"

I once had a customer call me because our silicon worked to spec but his simulation didn't....I responded; "Do you call the simulator software manufacturer when the simulation works and the silicon doesn't?"....never heard from him again...

Couldn't tell you. I don't work in theory. I work in NYC.

I feel sorry for any potential used Gibson TBird buyers out there right now. The prices are creeping up pretty high. Seems like just a year or two ago you could take your pick of several in the $1200 bracket and occasionally even see some go up for sale in the sub $1000 bracket.

- The cheapest Gibby Bird for sale on Reverb located in the USA right now is listed at nearly $1700 with shipping.

- Guitar center doesn't even have any used Gibby TBirds in stock, they used to always have several to choose from.

- Even eBay is getting tight, with only one used one priced at about $1600.

- I didn't look at Sam Ash, MusicGoRound, Gbase, Talkbass or Craigslist but I suspect it's slim pickings there as well.

Or a college professor. "Of course the theory works, I wrote a thesis on it".

Oh, I just noticed..so...

Happy Birthday @TBird1958, or as we say over here, Hyvää Syntymäpäivää!
Hope you’ll have a really nice day

It might work, but on the other hand...

We need to start saying more bad things about Thunderbirds. People are finding out about them, and there just aren't that many out there for sale.
