The H1Bs will no doubt be spared. After the bloodletting, how many more will “magically” appear and be immediately needed?

The Lotus Notes/Domino division will somehow stay alive.Maybe they can use that knowledge in their new jobs at Mickey D's.
BTW. Worked one day for them and resigned.

Very interesting the whack a mole, er, IBMer is called Project Chrome.
Is it named after Google’s Chrome which may be eating IE’s lunch.

Burlington Vermont is still a big operation. Fishkill ny is a ghost town.

Is Lotus Notes still around?
To: Texicanus
Mixing Lotus Notes and fast food could not end well.....
Imagine running a cash register with a Notes mentality. Replication, location management, corrupt or missing ID file, bad .INI’s, local versus network, turn on different advanced menus to every common function. The list of disasters is endless.

So how many people does Obama need to drop out of the labor force entirely to offset this? zer0 will but them all on welfare so it doesn't show up on the unemployment stats.

In my case very much but it’s days are numbered.
Notes on citrix clients isn’t too bad but on a laptop with all the custom modifications to make it work is often another story.
Supporting notes has been an eye opening experience. Nothing I’ve run into begins to compare to it in terms of being awful and seemingly badly designed and made worse.

Burlington Vermont is still a big operation. Fishkill ny is a ghost town. Both sites were sold to GlobalFoundries. They are waiting regulatory approval for the deal to be final. I work at BTV and can't wait for the deal to go through.

I have to give Excel it’s due. It is a really great piece of software. I wished I was an Excel guru but I work around a few.
