IMHO, a nice example of consultant is that old man who took an entire day to find out which nut had gone loose in the ship, tightened it in a minute, and ...
... gave a bill of $10000, where $1 was tightening fees, and ...
... the rest was for consultancy.

Coming from a "software consulting" company I once believed as you do. The gig went south when they tried to turn me into a mindless droid.

Reminds me of the term "IBM PC Compatible".
IBM - we understood, was the name of a company.
PC - we thought we understood this 
Compatible - never really understood this - what was it compatible with?
|
|
|
|
|
With IBM PCs. Isn't it obvious?
(I guess this was claimed by IBM PC clones?)
|
|
|
|

Now, it seems obvious. But, back then, especially for a student like me, it wasn't obvious.

Was?! IBM established at 1911 (with root back to 1885!) and still kicking...

Sorry, is.
From an Indian perspective, IBM was in India during the seventies, when I was too young; and was made to close shop in India in 1977. IBM came back to India around mid-nineties via a company called TISL (Tata Information Systems Services), before coming back again as IBM itself. So, during 1990, IBM was a was in India.

A PC clone that could boot and run the very first version of "Flight Simulator".
IIRC, that was the ultimate compatibility test.

Real Doom players built a time machine in order to play it early...

So I can´t have been a real Doom player back then, I had to wait all that time.
Too bad I didn't know. 
Doom was epic, and so was its successor, Castle Wolfenstein. I didn't like to have to shoot the dog, though.
