Update - I just received my FedEx tracking information for my Laptop
I now have been contacted for TCS/Toyota contract over 550 times
In addition I have been contacted for the San Bernardino job and I have begun
responding
I don’t work for 1990’s wages and don’t work on-site or hybrid
Too bad so sad for you
I will continue to do what I can to Support the IBM Mainframe US Based zOS
Systems Programmers
You know it's been said that the only thing that will survive a nuclear war are
cock-roaches
We need to add to that list are off-shore recruiters

Itel sold very unreliable IBM-compatible disk drives. Their claim to fame was
suing GSA for requiring rather modest reliability levels with the claim that
they were impossible to meet. Memorex had no trouble meeting the requirement.
