<I know personally of employers that have a no OT policy, meaning you are welcome to work extra hours but you don't get paid for them.> Jim, No, I don't work under a "no OT" policy, but I know others that do; supposedly it's figured into their compensation (yeah, right!). The way I look at it, my employer gives me loads of opportunities to learn and with programming, one must have a goal to make the work at least interesting, so, no I don't actually get paid for the extra hours in terms of money, but I am allowed to pretty much go my own way in terms of how I do my job, so I'm comfortable with the arrangement (one hand helps the other). The key is to maintain the balance between oneself and their employer; as long as the relationship is mutually respectful, everyone gains. Anyway, the last few years has been one attempt after another to learn new languages and applications and never having enough time to excel at any of them. How about you? Dave

I really think Intel is going to enjoy watching Microsoft squirm given the lengths Microsoft went to to make NT run on non-Intel platforms. The tables have turned. Does Intel know that Java is just a language? I guess they aren't listening to Microsoft. Oh, and, wasn't that nice of Steve Bomber (I know) to publicly tell Janet Reno to go to hell? We can debate whether or not it was justified, but the real pleasure in that is watching Microsoft in full-panic mode. THIS IS FUN! developer.intel.com developer.intel.com developer.intel.com
