Yup...this is to support a P/390 card, so it's somewhat
version-dependant. It's for a new install.

Yep. Stupid (and/or ignorant) people in positions of power. Common, but
regrettable.

See my comment regarding #1. It applies here too. :)

My opinion too. In fact, I haven't got a degree yet, myself. I do plan on
eventually getting one, but it seems to me that most of the first three
years of any degree program (even some two-year degrees ;) are filler, and
there's only about a year (or less) of actual learning in there. I expect
the amount of actual learning you'd have to do will also decrease with
field-experience, so I'm not in a big hurry to acquire a sheet of paper.
I do believe that at least some parts of any degree program could teach me
something, though. The only question is whether it's something I wouldn't
learn on my own. I do happen to be more pro-active about learning than most
people.

Depending on the license it may not be a bad idea ;)
Really, though, I think that programmers shouldn't need to be licensed.
Maybe managers should be licensed instead?
Back to the problem with the programmer, though, I see this particular thing
too much. There's an intense lack of fundamental understanding in most
people who work with computers, and it really disgusts me. To use this as a
specific example, this guy knew how to write some (really convoluted) stuff
that the c++ compiler would accept, but had no real understanding of how or
why any of it worked (or not.. ;)
I'm not saying that to get an entry level job in the field you should need
to know the machine architecture like the back of your hand, but you should
at least know the basics and be willing to learn the rest.

The Digital Group systems get my vote. I've only *heard* of about 3, since
being on this list, which is a while. Maybe because no-one is looking? I
can't even imagine finding a full-up system, with several CPU boards,
Phi-deck tape drives, and matching cabinets for the monitor, system unit,
and tape drives, not to mention all the OS's and other software... well,
maybe I can imagine it...

It's wholly inappropriate. He should give one to me.

I thought I had OS/2 Warp v3, but it turns out there are no disks in the
box, just a manual. You can have that if you want it (cost of shipping,
unless you have some 32mb 72pin SIMMs kicking around you want to trade...
LOL)

I've got a line on 'em already...that didn't take long. Thanks
anyway though.

Nope, needs to be 3 or 4...thanks anyway though. I think I may have
found it.
