Guys please, can we please stop this rant.
We are wasting precious bandwith on nothing constructive.
Most of the times I see questions ending up in a free for all and meaningless taming sessions with unneeded lessons in mannerism, etiquettes etc.
I think if someone wants to teach someone a lesson or two, it can be done off the list on your personal emails without causing havoc here.
I hope everyone understands and stands by in helping each other.
My apologies for top posting as I am on a mobile phone ;)

agreed.. @jtd the motive of my question was to find a way to get past the barriers i face
Training is an opportunity. Either supply the training or supply, build and operate - eliminate training.
Regarding the oldfarts, they wont change without clearly seeing the pennies being saved. And imo (besides being right and holding all the cash) they are a perfect opening for foss. Most of these guys spent fortunes on the latest in tech at the time and are still milking machinery long despatched to the scrap heap elsewhere.
One such i know of used machinery from Germany picked up as scrap in 1954!!!. His value chain was honed to perfection. Stuffing computers (or anything else) inbetween would simply upset the harmony.
Another one manufactures and exports polycarbonate bra hooks - trillions of them, 24hrs, 365 days since 1978. The oldfart just looked at the electricity meter reading to know what was happening in the night shift. Hitech automation - One measely camera + 1 dialup modem + 1 pcat to grab an image of the electricity meter. I sold 20 of these to cover 20 factories Rs.10 lakhs in all. As opposed to fancy cnc injection moulding each costing 3 times as much. The brilliant simplicity of these guys is hard to beat.
