Re: Interesting speed test

An interesting story:

One day in drafting class, the teacher suggested that Inventor was superior to AutoCAD. A student in the class disagreed. He challenged the teacher to a duel. The rules were set. The first person to draw a front, side, top, and isometric view of a cube would win.(cube due to time limit) So, the two of them agreed to the terms and started. AutoCAD loaded pretty quickly and the student had an early lead. Once Inventor had finally opened, the teacher was off. The student drew the basic square around the time the teacher opened the ipt file. The student had the three views done in the time it took for the teacher to extrude. Before the teacher could open the idw file, the student was finished with the isometric.

This happened my Sophomore year. The class was shocked by the outcome. However, it wasn't the better tool that prevailed. It wasn't the better draftsmen. It was the better team. You see, when person gets to be one with their tool, they can do amazing things. Its almost as if the two work in perfect harmony.

The same can be said for this race. The reason the two men beat the texters didn't have to do with the technology. It has nothing to do with the people. It has to do with the way the men and the machine work together.

Please visit the link that Vikesrock posted. The numbers there suggest that the record holders for CW could possibly even beat your camera or qwerty pad. Depending on the rules.
