I don't feel as mobile now as I did at 37, and I think I'm close to the median age of ibm-mainers. Just going by group demographics, it's more difficult for us to find work. All other things being equal, if you and I were to interview for the same position... I'd likely be walking and you'd be talking. It's how things are. You've fairly called some of us curmudgeons. As the joke goes: I resemble that remark. But be aware of the graying of the sysprog and the trap that many of us find ourselves in. -- David Andrews A. Duda and Sons, Inc.
