I gave up on the computer industry about 10 years ago when I was passed over for an entry level programming position using MUMPS because I "didn't know Windows well enough." Excuse? I know how to run a text editor, and its compiled (atthat point) to run on mainframes, so what is the Windows BS? The fact that I was about 20 years older than the guys interviewing me was likely the real problem. ------------------------ Yahoo!
