Not sure about the location of this post but I found it interesting. I
REALLY sympathasize with you all. I retired from IT 10+ years ago after
making it my career since 1954. Saw lots of things happen during the
time I went from a data entry clerk to operator to programmer to analyst
to management with 31 years in silicon valley. Almost went nuts more
than once. Sure glad to be retired!!
