MNBoxster, no I do not, so your probably right, its just urban legend!

A bunch of geeky MS employes told me this when I went to a coference at the MS campus in Redmond WA.

Great time though, we closed down the bar atop the space needle

WTH, I'm a geek too 15 yrs in computer programming (You talking to meee?? You talking to meeeeee???)

The only diff between me and the MS guys, I like Porsches, they like the next HP calculator!!! (and of course, millions in stock options!)

Sadly, I rode the Space Needle elavator down with a .12 at 2:00 am, (not bragging, just the way the circumstances played out I could not say three cohesive words to save my life! , the MS guys looked like a fish in water)

Thank god I was with these MS geeks, they dropped me off at my hotel

Next Question:

What was the name of the landlord that called Jerry a "Fancy Guy"?

Regards
Jimmy

Been in the biz since the TRS-80 days, I am the R&D director for Data Control Corp located in the Sac, California area.

Started in GWBASIC (thanks Bill Gates), then C then C++ and now in CSharp .NET

Mostly Gov contracts dealing with security issues (banking, gov and financial only)

I urge you to lean towards CS, there are great op's out there for brilliant students!

This is one area that does not out source!!!

Regards
