9/5     How long do most people stay with their companies?  Any difference
        with hardware and software job nature?
        \_ a) 1-2 years, b) Yes
        \_ a) 3-4 yrs at a good company (cisco,sun)
        \_ a) 5-8 years at Microsoft
        \_ Hardware, X years. Software, X/3 years. Funny that hw people need
           more education to get the same salary that sw people have.
           \_ Funny how SW folks have to work harder when finance and sales
              get paid 2x for 1/2 work.

11/27   CalMail has been down for a few days (hardware failure and database
        corruption -- sounds like fun!) and is starting to come back online.
        Looks like they're planning to outsource all campus mail to either
        Google Apps or Microsoft 365 as part of Operational Excellence.

4/28    Win 3.1 was more widely adopted than Win 3.0.  Win XP (5.1) was more
        widely adopted than Win 2k (5.0).  Now it looks like Win 7 (6.1) is
        going to be more widely adopted than Vista (6.0).  Is this a trend on
        Microsoft x.0 versions being bad?
        \_ duh.
        \_ "more widely adopted" ... well... what are you basing these numbers

12/2    IE usage down but still kicking the majority ass. Chrome is also
        rising up high, almost at the Safari level. Firefox isn't
        doing badly either. Sorry Opera, you had your chance.

        \_ As long  as Opera is the only browser you can use on your Wii,
           I see a fine long life ahead of it.
