TWY, Re: Of course the cynical take on all this would be for Intel to hire 16K new lower paid employees and have them train for a year and then lay off the 16K more experienced higher paid employees who trained them.> The high paid folks in the US, the Newbies in India, China, ... But then, several of my old bosses wrote up my cynicism. The incompetent ones, that is.... Worked on a software project. One of the best programmers was a fellow from the USSR. "Oh Jess, I caan do dat." Had several from USSR, China. The vast majority were better programmers than the "Just out of college" crew. Oh Jess, I caan do dat left after a "Pep Talk". "I could do dat but I can make more money elsewhere." One of the 10% of the staff that actually produced anything. (About 8 competent programmers.) I wish him well. And his Multi process C "Twelve Days of Christmas" on a PC, '96. Two more like him and a $60M project, actual cost, wouldn't have been flushed. -tgp
