Another big plus for TV. If you're sitting at a club, nobody cares if you were the President of IBM or the guy who worked at IBM's mail room.
Walt, you are so right. No one cares what you used to do. People here aren't hung up on titles like they used to be in the corporate world. I don't miss that one bit although for some it may be difficult for them to get used to not being able to boss everyone around like they used to. I'd like to see my old boss trying to function in an environment like this. I don't think he could. He had such a big ego.
