Hmm, Nothing in respose to the article I posted here. Just personal insults.
Your right, I don't get what this has to do with the post you are
responding to.

Hmm, Nothing in response to the article I posted here. Just lies about my
professional qualifications. I have indeed worked as a technical
professional for many years. But you are right, I don't get what this has
to do with the post your are responding to.

I know OO quite well. It has worked on every version of MS software that can
read RTF files. But you are right, I don't get what this has to do with the
post your are responding to.

Yep. That's why I love Linux. My boss thinks I am a hero. Cutting downtime,
unexpected disruptions and costs. Yep, my boss thinks I am a hero. But you
are right, I don't get what this has to do with the post your are
responding to.

Been there, done that. But you are right, I don't get what this has to do
with the post your are responding to.
Quote:> And even then, what do you get?
A raise. But you are right, I don't get what this has to do with the post
your are responding to.

A raise. But you are right, I don't get what this has to do with the post
your are responding to.
Quote:> So what?

A raise. But you are right, I don't get what this has to do with the post
your are responding to.

Who cares. I've done my homework and I know what I am doing. I have already
survived such *s from IBM and Cysco. But you are right, I don't get
what this has to do with the post your are responding to.
Quote:> Can you handle it?
Already have for other choices. But you are right, I don't get what this has
to do with the post your are responding to.
Quote:> If not you are gone.
But I can, so I stay and I get raises. My bosses have known that I am not a
sheep that installs stuff from the biggest just because theya are the
biggest. My bosses know that I install the best because it is the best and
I am willing to take the heat from the bigboys. But you are right, I don't
get what this has to do with the post your are responding to.

No, All this to get the right tool for the job. There by keeping my job and
getting raises. But you are right, I don't get what this has to do with
the post your are responding to.

Then you admit you are the one that has no recent experience in the IT
world. Things have changed in the IT world since the 80's. People who were
inflexable and did not changed with it are driving taxies or left the IT
world in the 1980's. But you are right, I don't get what this has to do
with the post your are responding to.

Not in school. But you are right, I don't get what this has to do with the
post your are responding to.
Not one reasoned response to the actual article. Just a big flame from a
person that hasn't worked in a professional IT department in the last 20
years!
