The only troll I'm into is made by Russ. I'm saying this. What's the point, what can we do about this? Nothing. These prgrammers started get huge salaries, and they priced themselves right out of the market. There is no fix to that, and I'm tired of hearing these guys complain as if there is. They should of invested some of that money. End of Story.

(Why did you post twice, new to the Internet, hit the button too many times. I only bring it up because I think it's rude of you to call people names.)

Your attitude is pretty much what the rest of the non-IT thinks. And as far as the rest of the world, they want to see our standard of living knocked down a peg a two. Face it, we are going to get little sympathy, don't expect it.

You worship childrens' toys and clothes?

"What's the point, what can we do about this? Nothing. These prgrammers started get huge salaries, and they priced themselves right out of the market."

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT. No, the idiots who fueled the .com boom GAVE them huge salaries. Don't blame the employee for management's short sightedness.

"There is no fix to that, and I'm tired of hearing these guys complain as if there is. They should of invested some of that money. End of Story."

You mean that money they were not allowed to invest elsewhere under penalty of having their 401K's cancelled by their employer? Or do you mean all of those "paper" profits that were embezzeled by the likes of the CEO's of Global Crossing and Worldcomm?

I'm a computer programmer and I make 45k a year. Is that rich and overpriced in your book? Maybe I should ask for a salary cut and make 6k a year so I can be competitive and make myself attractive to corporate america again. Bite me.
