I obviously didn't convey my message intent correctly (or folks are
reading too much into it).

I was not insinuating anything bad about IBM, or working with IBM or
anything else IBM - I was just pointing out the fact that IBM was using
the 'shotgun' approach for trying to find folks, so they can get in on
some of the migration action.

Of course, I don't mind pointing out that the people IBM is looking for
(according to their ads) are far and few between, and those that do
exist probably don't want to be 'on the road' 5 days a week.  NOTE: just
MHO. 

HTH,

Ray Shahan

BTW - way to go donna!

"Say what you will but I got laid off in March after working on HP3000's
since thr early 70's (City of Downey, Latchford Glass, Hughes Aircraft,
CSC,International Rectifier / Hexfet America). The "golden parachute"
they
so generously granted me ran out in June and I'm still looking for work.
I'm
trying to stay close to Temecula butI just may apply to IBM. As for the
100%
travel, been there done that with CSC, but the mortgage needs to be paid
and
my daughter wants to go to college."


I hear you Bro.

What I do not understand is the anger towards IBM when HP is leaving out
in
the wind.  Maybe IBM would take over support since HP doesn't want to.
I
think they support just about anything they have ever sold.
