are you talking about people with reseach grants, or in education who get to spend other people's time and money, or the real world ?

I'm talking about people who historically work with Big Iron, or smaller Sun or SGI systems -- in UNIX. To send an engineer into the wild with no UNIX training is not a good idea.

Thats what I figured - What percentage of college graduates do you figure are "people who historically work with Big Iron, or smaller Sun or SGI systems " ?

How many engineers does, oh, say General Moters employ ?
How many would be fired immediately if they started monkying around with the inner workings of their networked CAD design programs ?
