That is not the end of the story there is part 2 which goes something like this ...
Vinod Khanna, has a software house in Banglore, heard about the boss's cost cutting excercise. He approached the boss and said I hear you are interested in cutting costs and you want the developers to do it. Vinod Khanna told the Big G , I will use what ever tool you want me to use .Net or Struts ot the beez kneezs and I'll be cheaper than Jim.
Six months later Jim was travelling on the train he heard a voice saying
Tickets please !!!
When Jim looked around, it was his ex-Boss saying Tickets please !!!!
So Jim asked his ex-boss former Software house IT Director about his predicament.
His ex-boss replied , you may remember Vinod Khanna who replaced you.
Jim replied Yes.
Well Vinod Khanna approached my client and my client didn't need me anymore.
The ex-boss asked - do you have ticket because I can't let you travel with out ticket!!!
I will lose this job if I let you travel with out a ticket.
Jim replied " you know me , I never travel with out a ticket!!".
The boss went on his merry way singing his song "Tickets please ! Tickets please !"

[Four years later, Jim is now the Struts team lead in a corporate IT shop. If you haven't heard of this one, continue. I will try to make it flawless ... although it is still a pre-release.]
The dot com bubbles were easy-come-easy-go. There are only two teams left in the IT shop, Jim's Struts team and .NET team. When both teams were scheduling their training in another city for new projects, they were told from the boss of bosses that whoever reduces IT costs more will be the winner.
The .NET team booked their airline tickets to the city before they heard of a super discount train ticket that Jim's team was considering. The .NET team canceled their airline tickets and arrived at the train station earlier.
When they saw Jim on the train, they started to laugh at the Struts team. Because Jim got only one ticket for his whole team.
"The conductor is coming!" One of the Struts team members looked out of the window and said. Jim's team went into one of the rest rooms in the train. The conductor got on the train. When he passed by the rest room, he knocked on the door.
"Ticket please?"
A ticket was slid out under the door. The .NET team looked very serious after both teams arrived at the city. When they finished the training, the .NET team got only one ticket to back. But they started to laugh at the Struts team again when they saw Jim on the train.
Jim's team had no ticket at all. This time, one of the Struts team members looked out of the window and said "The conductor is coming!" Jim's team went into one of the rest rooms in the train. The .NET team went into the other rest room. Before the conductor got on the train, Jim quietly walked out the rest room and knocked on the door of the other rest room.
"Ticket please?"

[After Jim came back, he saw the .NET team is releasing its own MVC model and is using a desktop IDE claimed richer in functionality. But he knows they are busily and expertly missing the point again.
Because Jim is playing the Internet IDE and considering to empower every employee to build SLWS (Super Large Web Services). If you are in Jim's position, take a look at the 24 tips on Wheels and Struts.]
