    As usual with these type of threads, for those interested in the subject of animal intelligence, I suggest reading "Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?" by Frans de Waal.

    Adding anecdata, but my mother just turned 70 and is still software engineer (Edit: cobol and rpg still pay off! :)). She never went the manager path, preferring talking with computers rather than humans seems to run in the family :).

    I had that problem for so long with a T490, I thought I was going crazy until I noticed the crashes always happened when I grabbed the computer. Luckily just re-seating the RAMs with some tough love made the problem disappear...
