Shameful. That's all I can say.


Easy for you to say. You are not only a one-man-band but you also
run your own computing "infrastructure". It was becoming increasing
difficult to find competent employees to support the 20 different
flavors of Unix on the 10s of thousands of systems that run the factories.


I don't think it is any harder to find competent Windows people... I think
it's just that there are a lot of people out there who know enough Windows
to get by. In a lot of environments, that's enough, but I would hope for
better in an embedded control environment.
