Tom, Geeze…lighten up a bit. You come in here raging about a problem you have with COMPUTE, and keep raging when others don't necessairly agree with you. Personally, I dropped my subscription to COMPUTE many, many years ago so have no idea of the truth or not of any of the statements made here…but perhaps the level of discussion could come up a notch or two. There's nothing wrong with disagreeing with what people say, but implying that people are lying to you, or that other than Denny, they have some special interest in COMPUTE makes you come off sounding quite unreasonable. As a quick example, lots of people are quite happy in their current place of employ and aren't interested in other…higher paying…jobs. To them, money isn't the be all to end all. They value their security and/or peace of mind more. Take myself for instance, I wouldn't have left my job for twice the pay up until last November. Prior to that…I'd have lost my pension. Now, that my pension is guaranteed, for twice the pay…I might leave…but for a 10 or 20% raise…I wouldn't leave…I'm too comfortable where I am, it's worth the 10 or 20% raise to not go. Anyway…that's just one of the points where you seem to assume that some folks aren't telling you the truth. Why not just sit back, relax and try not to be so angry in your answers. You'll probably find the discussion a lot more enjoyable. Don
