    In the same year when IBM purchased Rational they fire around 380 developers [^]. Where is the love, compassion or decency :mad:? Go figure? Erick :rose:

    If anyone owes anyone anything, then it's the guys that sold Rational - not the people buying the company. Cheers, Tom Archer Inside C#,

      Even in war there is often love, compassion and decency. It is only business that seems to have lost the plot! :sigh:

              In war love, compassion, and decency are often necessary. In business, I only miss decency. Love and compassion do not belong. The difference between a pessimist and an optimist is that while the pessimist is always a victim, the optimist is always a target. - Brady Kelly

                    Maybe they tried to turn around business situation from crisis to boom. But for a turn around, 180 are enough. After 360, they stumbled on in the same direction as before... "Today we are standing at the edge of an abyss. But - I promise - tomorrow we'll take a great step ahead!"

                        The company that made the most famous mainframe computer. The IBM 360. Need I say more.;P Chris Meech If you spin a Chinese person around, do they become dis-oriented? Why do people in this time period worry so much about time traveler's destroying their worldline when they have no problem doing it themselves every day? John Titor.
