I disagree about corporate greed. Yes, I support profit margins but the margin of profit making by these corporates is obnoxious. Recently, the company I used to work for gave their higher management bonuses in the 5 figure amounts plus stock options (which were not disclosed) after the jobs were moved to third world countries (India, Brazil and Argentina).

Mainframe installations are hiring Indian mainframers, to some extent, sure; but that simply proves that there are still mainframers to be hired, in India if nowhere else.

In trying to reduce costs corporations sometimes make short-sighted decisions and later rue them -- and, again, how is that different from you and me? --- Bob Bridges, [email protected], cell 336 382-7313 /* One very sound rule for the care of the body is always to keep in mind what it was designed to do.
