And the kicker is Microsoft requires new hires to essentially take an IQ test for pre-screening/interviewing. All those smart people and such a crappy operating system. Think the Gates, Allen, and Balfor are still in the top ten richest people in the world and Windows has over 80% share of PC's. What's stupid is there's not enough IT knowledge left at the upper management tiers to be able to differentiate fact from fiction, playdough from concrete, security from secretion. Guess it'll finally get through. My friends down the street with the three legged cat sell Insurance and Real Estate. Said they finally stopped selling private airplane coverage to high profile professionals 'cause they would only stay marginally qualified and crash when they got in trouble. Guess it's gonna take the same thing in DP. Insurers won't cover losses unless you can prove technical competence in upper management. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
