Not all mind you but some. I have wondered about the perceived
benefits myself. The case above the person worked out of their
house in Chicago area. So the once a month (or so) appearance
wasn't a big thing but when it comes to say Washington dc/metro
area to texas its a whole different story, IMO.
I live in Vermont, worked for a D.C. area office, and connected to
a mainframe in Massachusetts before retiring. We had work group
meetings quarterly, and conference calls every month or so. Other
than getting stuck cartridges out of the ATL, it wasn't so bad.....

George,
Glad it worked for you. I know in this particular situation it was
highly questionable, IMO. Maybe in you case you had a boss that was
good at keeping you busy:)
