About 7 years ago, I got to do a career shadowing with a Database Administrator for Staff Leasing. At the time, his work computer was dual 21" trinitron monitors, a nice IBM laptop, and he had offices inside and outside the server room. The computers he ran were things like 64-way and 32-way 400mhz RISC processors (again, at the time, that was godly) with 1TB SCSI racks.. He showed me how he could configure any number of SCSI drives however he wanted.. He could do RAID 5+0+1+0+1 (lol.. made that up.. but really.. he probby could) with however many hard drives in the rack. He pulled one out while it was running to show me that it doesn't hurt the whole system...


So anyways.. after all this, I asked him what his computer was at home.. It was a Windows 3.1 75mhz pentium with 8mb ram. He said he didn't too much care for computer.

That one caught me off guard.. So ya, it makes sense to me that some MS coders don't care about their home computers.

Visit the P&N area, they say we don't need no stinking High Tech jobs here in the U.S. They say we don't need any jobs except for the coveted Manufacturing of Hamburgers job.
