This is almost certainly inappropriate for net.jobs, but I just can't resist taking cheap shots! What EDS employees like or dislike about simple discussions on information about their company is irrelevent to whether the discussion occurs or not. Now my curiosity is raised and I have a few questions about EDS: 1. Isn't EDS the acronym for Electronic Data Systems, a company originally headquartered in Dallas? 2. Isn't EDS started, run, own by H. Ross Peirot, someone I remember as an extreme political conservative? Isn't EDS the same company whose employees were rescued by EDS during the turmoil of the Iranian revolution? 3. Hasn't EDS been recently acquired by General Motors (in some form) to do their MAP (manufacturing automation protocol) implementation after GM could find no satisfactory contractors? Flames, especially those from self-righteous EDS employees, to /dev/null. -- John McNally GE/Calma 11080 Roselle St. San Diego CA 92121 ...{ucbvax | decvax}!sdcsvax!calmasd!jpm (619)-458-3230
