I think you need to count Bob. You completed your degree in 2 years did you. What a hopeless bulltulipter you are!

He's got a point there Bob. You're not one of those people who include time at school and programming with a ZX81 at home as experience are you?????

I had an agent ask me if I had 5 years experience of Crystal XI the other day. I answered no, only 2 years of XI, but 10 years of Crystal. Too bad he said - the client wanted 5 years and I have two contractors who have it.

"I doubt it" was my reply. "Its only been out two years".

I think it might have been my comment about Accidenture that set him off. I say he deserves to work in that hell-hole if that's where he is. Might teach him a bit of humility...
