What you describe is almost too good to be true. If that were indeed the case, I think that the Solaris guy might seriously be tempted. Data centers run themselves. Sure there is always work to do, but it's all incremental. Who could say no to such an opportunity, to build stuff from the ground up once again, with all the errors from previous experience, corrected? It would be a tough thing to say no to. Remember that every good system engineer is deeply passionate about technology. _________________________________________________________________ News, entertainment and everything you care about at Live.com.
