Marshal Davout is on a distinguished road
Default Thank You Clever Cowboy !

A Funny ! One time a Company needed a Delphi Programmer; so their HR Department took a COBOL Requisition and did a "mass change" of COBOL to Delphi and then sent it to a head hunter ! Ha! It said the Delphi Programmer had to have 10 Years experience. So a Head hunter asked me if I had 10 years in Delphi ? At the time I told him the program had only been out 5 years; so Nobody is going to have 10 years experience in it ! I didn't get that job; but the Head hunter was so impressed with me; he got me a different one ! I accumulated a lot of funny stories in IT in my career; so I should probably write a book ! At one time somebody told us "You'll make $200,000 a year during Y2K" But that never panned out, of course ! Another time I worked on a Naval Reserve Manpower system. When Y2K happened the algorithims went crazy and told them they needed a Million men in the Naval Reserve ! Ha!
