There are teenagers in high school who do not know what a modem sounds like while establishing a connection--they have never heard one.

What a roller coaster. The old company got sold but I managed to jump sideways from tech support to SQL coding with only a 17% pay cut. Now that all the legal rigmarole settled down my former VP wants to be my new VP again for a 41.7% pay increase over my current position. This, kiddos, is what you call a "no brainer".
