Well Steve, that was quite an entertaining read. I don't think I've ever seen you so animated. One thing is for sure. If you ever make it over here and we're sharing spirits. I will not introduce my wife Marilynne as a retired "Software Engineer" without first suiting her up in body armor!

Actually, she thankfully never used that term. Her ID badge said "Senior Programmer Annalist". Though I must say that I respected the laborious and intensely tedious work she did. COBOL ain't fun!

Edit: Oops, I'm guilty of hijacking! Steve, maybe you should move this over to that thread.
