In my day NOBODY sued IBM.
And nobody (with any brains) suggested looking at another mainframe manufacturer either.
You see IBM had this blacklist.....................
I was offered a job at IBM a few years back. I almost took it.
I don't believe they are quite as bad these days but then I don't believe they dominate the market as they once did.
They were supposed to have been one of the best major corporations to work for at some point. I would have been able to walk to work (I do now, I work in the basement).

They were a great company to work for as long as you played by their very specific rules, down to and including the color of tie, shirt, and suit you wore.
Can we say "Paternalistic"?

(Besides, I'm not at all sure you'd have enjoyed the group singing)
That's where I draw the line.

Ah Cory, I'd bet you have a lovely voice....



You can purchase a record of my lovely voice at http://www.annaloguerecords.com/shop.htm (12th from the bottom) for 9E plus shipping.
