It’s an old one but it still makes me smile……. Regarding the difference

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.

A wise man learns by the mistakes of others, a fool by his own. [Latin Proverb]
By associating with wise people you will become wise yourself. [Menander]
One who understands much displays a greater simplicity of character than one
who understands little.
From a book on wisdom - Proverbs.
The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel: for attaining wisdom
and discipline; for understanding words of insight; for acquiring a
disciplined and prudent life, doing what is right and just and fair; for
giving prudence to the simple, knowledge and
Rather than wise man – here is citation from the wiseguy arena.
My dad always said, “You’re not completely worthless – you can always serve as

I am pathetic - have a database of 'wise' quotes populated by a custom web
crawler - filled mostly from mathematicians, Bugs Bunny, and George Carlin.
I view the concepts of 'expertise' and 'wisdom' as alien to humanity at
anything above the tribal organizational level. Some favorites follow.

Our company makes laboratory equipment (the red-headed step child) which has no
defined category of its own so it generally falls under the LVD unless it has a
moving part to which it is now subject to the machinery directive (which is a
new nightmare for me). But like many products produced

Sorry for answering having no answer for your question, but the New Year and
your question make me to have some basic thoughts.
10 years ago I spend 90% of my time designing new electronic devices (doing
that I like the best since I was 10).

As you can guess, it would be easier for us if we could use the same DOC for
all models within a family. Here is where the question about cooling fans
come into play. If a cooling fan makes the product a Machine then we could
use one DOC (MD) for all since all of our products have fans.
Brian,
I'm in a bit of a rush this evening so I can't spend as much time on this as
perhaps it deserves, but maybe the following questions/observations will help

As I explained, we built products to order. One at a time per the order. We do
not build in “Batches” or “Large Series” so I would not believe that we can use
a range of serial numbers.
Some interpret the Guide text to mean the serial number on the DOC is not
