[TriLUG] Jobs at IBM

[Mike M]

This help wanted ad is about as complicated as my trying to buy these:

These boards are wonderfully documented and priced attractively.  
It was so difficult
to find a distributer for them that we gave up and bought alternatives
at 3x the price because the purchase experience was _so_ much easier. 
We thought that if it was that hard to buy the product, then getting
service after the sale would be even harder.

Don't get me wrong.  I think highly of IBM.  But as a little guy, I couldn't
figure out how to do business with them.

Is it just me, or is a Linux list the wrong place to go fishing for
property specialist?  Or did I misread the ad and they really need a
Linux specialist?  But that's what I consider the quintessential IBM
experience - respectful bewilderment.
