That's a bit harsh. I has two exceptional SEs, one in the early 1980s and one in the late 1980s-early 1990s. Of course, I haven't seen an SE >> Yeah we had a couple that were top-notch thru the mid seventies. Dumps, debugging, coding, sysgens, tuning, early support...whatever it took. Occasionally PSR would get dispatched for weird stuff. When I moved West in early 80's had two of best PSR's ever saw. Trained, educated, dedicated...learned many IPCS tricks by watching them dissect dumps. Last crop SE's were trained CE's that wanted to get off the 24/7 on call lists and were tired of getting 150psi fuser oil from the check sorters. Still good folks just not the level of the earlier crowd.... ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
