I feel like I'm in good company. I started in this business in 1977 too. Enjoy, John!

For the curious, I started on a Wednesday, 1 June 1977, so it will be 41 years, 6 months since I started as a CE in the local Poughkeepsie branch office. It's time to shed the daily stress, devote more time to my hobbies (diving, amateur radio, metalworking, cycling), and find a place in the County that can use an active volunteer for however many hours I feel like working (if any). I won't be able to get notes on my IBM e-mail address after about noon Friday. I also won't get phone messages after that time at my work phone number, because they arrive as e-mail attachments. Hanging out here has been quite instructive and usually fun (smile), so: Thanks, folks. All the best, everyone. -- John Eells IBM Poughkeepsie ee...@us.ibm.com (for a couple more days) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
